Researchers successfully implanted a genetically modified pig liver into a human, proving that such an organ can function for ...

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

A recent study described the first successful assisted transplantation of pig liver from a genetically modified pig into a ...

Gene-edited crops are no safer than GMOs, and fast-tracking regulatory approval could trigger a costly backlash.

Humans have selectively bred animals and crops since the beginning of agriculture, but advances in biotechnology have provided genetic tools to select specific traits. First applied to animals in the ...

Genetically modified organisms that contain nucleic acid sequences associated with the pathogenicity of microorganisms controlled by 1C351.a to .c, 1C352, 1C354, or 1C360 Genetically modified ...

A genetic modification in the 'coat' of a brain infection-causing virus may allow it to escape antibodies, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. They say testing people for this and ...

Researchers have developed a way to improve crop quality without needing to create special genetically modified plants. The new technique relies on a spray that introduces bioactive molecules into ...

A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...
