Gene editing is a group of technologies that enable scientists to precisely alter an organism's DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or alteration of genetic material at specific ...

New CLASSIC technique uses AI and massive DNA libraries to predict genetic circuit performance faster and more accurately.

Sherry Gao, Tyler Daniel (pictured) and their coauthors developed a new tool that can simultaneously and independently edit multiple genes and regulate their expression. Influential inventions often ...

Scientists are hoping to use genetic engineering to reduce the transmission of Lyme disease. The scientists' target is not the deer or the ticks often associated with the disease; it's wild mice.

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...
