We’ve seen gene-editing in works of fiction make wonders for humans and the environment, from creating “healing factors” in humans, to transforming agriculture for greater sustainability. Genetic ...

KIT researchers succeeded for the first time in reducing the number of chromosomes in a plant using the CRISPR/Cas method – surprisingly without affecting its growth The CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Humanity's efforts to modify food plants is as old as farming itself, some 10,000 years. Before genetic engineering became possible, farmers have used simple selection inter- and ...

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 ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Modifying the genetic structure of organisms is a central part of modern biotechnology. This article will discuss biotechnology and genetic engineering, providing an overview of the subject.

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 ...
