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.

NEW YORK - Thanks to recent advances in synthetic biology - a hybrid discipline of engineering and biology that makes possible the manipulation of DNA of microorganisms such as yeast, bacteria, fungi ...

Matthew Hayes (Left) is the Chief Technology Officer and founder at Evonetix, a groundbreaking gene synthesis technology company created in 2015, where he deploys his expertise in multi-disciplinary ...

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...

(Nanowerk News) Deoxyribonucleaic acid, DNA, can store vast amounts of information encoded as sequences of the molecules, known as nucleotides, cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), or thymine (T).

In white biotechnology, microorganisms serve as industrial bioreactors for large-scale production of fine chemicals, enzymes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, agro chemicals, and food additives. In ...

Our genetic code is millions of times more efficient at storing data than existing solutions, which are costly and use immense amounts of energy and space. In fact, we could get rid of hard drives and ...

Northwestern Engineering undergraduate Ana Cornell keeps a notebook filled with sketches of ideas and designs she one day hopes to build. One of her first was for an at-home DNA testing kit that she’s ...
