Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change ...

Biology students at the University of Minnesota take a course in their very first semester in which they propose their own gene-based solution to a problem. Among the projects they have worked on was ...

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 ...

A pioneer of one of RIT’s earliest study abroad programs and a founding member of the biotechnology and molecular bioscience program has retired. Professor Robert Rothman from the Thomas H. Gosnell ...

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 ...

Genetic circuit engineering is the synthesis of unnatural DNA segments encoding protein or RNA molecules that control each other’s levels. Genetic circuit engineering is the bottom-up, local approach ...

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.

(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 ...
