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 ...

Genetic engineering is the transfer of DNA between organisms using biotechnology. Check your understanding of the process with this interactive quiz. Revise the different stages of genetic engineering ...

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 ...

Sherry Gao, Tyler Daniel (pictured) and their coauthors developed a new tool that can simultaneously and independently edit multiple genes and regulate their expression. Influential inventions often ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has been challenged by the limitations of virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a ...

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 science fiction cinema, few films have delved as deeply into the ethical and philosophical implications of genetic engineering as "Gattaca." Released in 1997 and directed by Andrew Niccol, the ...
