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

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 ...

Modern therapeutics are shifting from their reliance on small molecules to biologics produced by cultured cells. The development and production of those biologics increasingly rely on computationally ...

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

Carolus Vitalis grew up in a small town in Chile—a town so small it doesn’t appear on any maps. Now he’s at the forefront of a large, impactful discussion: the pros and cons of artificial intelligence ...

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 ...

Rice University researchers have revealed novel sequence-structure-property relationships for customizing engineered living materials (ELMs), enabling more precise control over their structure and how ...

Researchers at Princeton University and the Simons Foundation have identified four clinically and biologically distinct subtypes of autism, marking a transformative step in understanding the condition ...
