Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

The modification of the genetic makeup of cells. Genetic engineering modifies the DNA in cells to alter their behavior. In 1953, the discovery of the DNA double helix, technically deoxyribonucleic ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...

Matthew Hayes (Left) is the Chief Technology Officer and founder at Evonetix, a groundbreaking gene synthesis technology company created in 2015, where he deploys his expertise in multi-disciplinary ...

A team of scientists created a new gene-editing tool that they claim is more accurate than the industry standard, CRISPR. Researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia, developed what is called ...

The return of the long-extinct wooly mammoth or dodo bird may sound like a storyline straight out of science fiction. It’s not. Several de-extinction projects all share an ambitious aim to resurrect ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

Adding too much water to your plants can damage them as much as not having enough water. In the environment, plants submerged under excessive rain have limited access to light and oxygen, which ...
