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 ...

Researchers created a programmable tool that can precisely target and relocate genetic sequences with greater accuracy than CRISPR, the industry standard.

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.

Plant genetic engineering will become important due to the increased demand for food, medicine, and materials. Nanotechnology can help expand the existing plant transformation toolkit and generate ...

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 ...

An integral part of Mediterranean culture, wine is made by fermenting pressed grape juice. The resulting drink consists of ...

The breakthrough in question relates to human genetic engineering. This has long been a theoretical possibility assumed to be decades away from practicality.

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.

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 ...

‘Godfather of Genetic Engineering’ Paul Berg Dies at 96 Berg was awarded one-half of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980 for his work with recombinant DNA technology.
