Could gene editing be the key to raising farm animals that are completely disease-resistant? Scientists are using CRISPR and ...

Tan teaches a course on genetic engineering and sees it as a promising solution for bringing back chestnuts, but he understands how controversial the technology can be. “The success as well as ...

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 law can’t keep up. Wildlife conservationist turned legal scholar Alex Erwin constructs the legal framework to begin to establish guidance and parameters around when genetic engineering would ...

To change the genetic code itself, or "genome," is a common goal of this technique. By using the method, it is feasible to remove or insert a segment of DNA from the genome. The engineering ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

A genetic engineering company has bold plans to “de-extinct” and “re-wild” the dodo bird — centuries after the flightless fowl waddled the planet. Colossal Biosciences unveiled Tuesday ...

Working on a remote island, scientists think they can use genetic engineering to block a malaria-carrying species of mosquito from spreading the disease — and do it in just a few months.

They are gray wolves with a few cosmetic tweaks. In this light, the project represents a remarkable demonstration of genetic engineering, rather than a literal revival of an extinct species.

Developmental biologist Zhi-kun Li of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, first author of the new study, said it represents "a notable accomplishment in mammalian genetic engineering." He said the ...
