Genetic engineering is considered one of the most sophisticated scientific tools for changing the genetic blueprint of a living organism according to our suitable design. This attention-seeking ...

Our pal Andrew Stuttaford tweeted a story about a CRISPR genetic engineering experiment from the Financial Times. I checked it out, and given the frequent criticisms I have penned here about ...

Genetically modified animals definition would state that in genetic engineering scientists manipulate genes to create improved or completely different organisms.

Just because scientists now have the ability to cure genetic diseases, with a new gene-editing technique, doesn't mean we always should, writes our geneticist, Dr. Barry Starr.

Indeed, genetic engineering could actually eliminate opportunities for those at the bottom. For example, one path to higher education for those at the bottom is scholarships for athletic or ...

Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using modern DNA technology.
