Scientists are pioneering a new method of genetic engineering for basic and applied biological research and medicine. Their work has the potential to open new doors in genomic research by ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do.

The Era of ‘Point and Click’ Genetic Engineering? A new genome editing technique is allowing us to alter DNA—the source code of life—with unprecedented precision. It is known as CRISPR ...

Research by Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Huimin Zhao and graduate student Behnam Enghiad at the University of Illinois is pioneering a new method of genetic engineering for ...

The sections are: (1) Status of Genetic Information and Medicinal Procedures; (2) The Future of Basic and Applied Genetic Research; and (3) Ethical Values. The paper focuses attention on such problems ...

The discovery of the CRISPR genome-editing technology shows why basic research is so important.

“As Gods” is a history of both genetic engineering and the worries—justified, dubious and sometimes outright conspiracist—it has provoked. The technology has had many successes.
