This initiative, now well underway, represents the largest and most complex silkworm gene-engineering project ever undertaken globally. The program builds upon years of proprietary research 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 ...

The rise of gene-edited embryos has raised a myriad of ethical questions. It involves altering DNA to prevent disease or even to choose specific traits using a method known as CRISPR. In 2018, Chinese ...

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 ...

Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...

Genetic sensors improve ecosystems, monitor health, ensure safety, and recycle waste via bioremediation pathways Researchers explore enhanced sensing capabilities in synthetic biology to address ...

For two decades, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which advises the Pope on scientific issues, has made wise observations about the importance of molecular techniques for genetic modification and ...

Few sectors of the global economy are more hooked on gene modification technology than agriculture. Food powerhouses like the U.S., Brazil, and Argentina now grow genetically modified crops on 40, 23, ...

Engineering offers high salaries, strong job growth, and high satisfaction rates. With roles spanning from software to ...

In genetic sensor research, precision and sensitivity remain challenges. Against this backdrop, researchers now leveraged synthetic biology, high-throughput assays, and bioinformatics to enhance ...
