A grim reminder of the risks and ethical dilemmas posed by genetic engineering was the so-called “Frankenstein” mouse with human genes inserted in its DNA.

Scientists can now make precise, specific changes in the DNA of primates using a new technology first identified in bacteria. Not only will this usher in an age where animal models for human diseases ...

Right now, genetic engineering requires access to a high tech biolab and that's keeping the technology from falling into novice hands. And only a few people know how to tinker with DNA right now.

OriCiro Genomics is a pioneer in cell-free synthesis and amplification technology of large, genome-scale DNA and is helping change how the industry approaches genetic engineering and research.

They published their work in Science in 2012, but not before patenting the technology as a tool for genetic engineering.

Scientists have achieved the first DNA-free CRISPR gene editing in raspberries, reaching 19% efficiency and opening the door to faster breeding of firmer, more resilient berries — though regenerating ...

The development of plant genetic engineering lags behind the development of animal genetic engineering. Plant cells differ from animal cells in several aspects, a major one being that, in addition to ...

The new Guanine/Thymine (GT) DNA assembly technology significantly changes things by enabling genetic engineers to reuse genetic materials.

This anti-genetic engineering industry and their lobbyists are primarily responsible for the significant public apprehension towards this technology. They have been very successful generating fear ...
