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 ...

From genetically modified mosquitoes to clinical therapies, learn how scientists apply gene editing techniques to answer a range of important research questions. Gene editing techniques are a mainstay ...

Area high school and community college students have a unique opportunity to play with jellyfish genes to literally make bacteria glow. It’s part of a free workshop, "Introduction to Genetic ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

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, ...

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have emerged as a powerful optimisation tool in product design and user-centred engineering, drawing inspiration from the principles of biological evolution. They use ...
