Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic ...

Scientists in the laboratory of David Liu, PhD, at the Broad Institute of MIT, Harvard University, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) have designed an improved version of prime editing ...

But they stopped short of formal recommendations on international regulation of genetic engineering. Deciding against a final communique, they deputized a member of the UK government’s watchdog ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important signaling molecules can become diluted as these cells grow and divide, causing ...

In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral infections while also minimizing the ...

Engineering offers high salaries, strong job growth, and high satisfaction rates. With roles spanning from software to genetic engineering, careers vary in skills, industries, and work styles. Finding ...

The application of genetic engineering to food crops is controversial, and rightly so. Critics worry that changing genetics may have harmful, unanticipated effects on food safety and the environment.

Once a defining tree of eastern forests, the American chestnut was nearly erased by a foreign fungus within a few human generations. A genetically engineered line known as Darling 54 has now pushed ...
