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

A new university spinout company is hoping to use synthetic biology to transform gene therapy manufacture. SynGenSys, from the University of Sheffield, plans to tap into engineering design principles ...

Rapidly Developing Field Is an Amalgam of Genetics, Automation, and Computer Algorithms Synthetic biology is an exciting and rapidly evolving field of research that can broadly be defined as the ...

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...

Since the onset of the CRISPR genetic editing revolution, scientists have been working to leverage the technology in the development of gene drives that target pathogen-spreading mosquitoes such as ...

Research suggests that negative perceptions of genetically modified and genetically engineered foods could be easing, promoting some to suggest that consumers in Europe are ready to move on from ...

Technologies needed for tracing engineered biothreats back to their sources are advancing rapidly. Here are some ...

Scientists are expanding the genetic map of humanity. This week, a large team published the first wave of research from the Pangenome Project, an effort to better capture the diversity of people ...

Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare but devastating genetic disorder. Those with the condition are often diagnosed between 5 and 15 years of age and ...
