This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

Scientists have been working for decades to create synthetic cells that mimic key functions of biological cells. The challenge has been to make the artificial cells dynamic, responsive ...

Yale researchers have created "Ochre," a genomically recoded organism that enables the production of synthetic proteins with ...

For the past two decades, scientists have been manipulating genes to grow human cells where you wouldn’t quite expect them.

Researchers have made a breakthrough in the development of 'life-like' synthetic materials which are able to move by themselves like worms. Scientists have been investigating a new class of materials ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

Macquarie University researchers, alongside an international team, have achieved a significant milestone in synthetic biology by completing the final chromosome of the world's first synthetic yeast ...
