The genetic engineering behind pig-to-human transplants A paper on a transplant to a brain-dead recipient provides details on the donor.

The Wyss team has created an integrated pipeline for performing genetic screening studies, encompassing every step of the process from identifying target genes of interest to cloning and screening ...

Manipulating genetics has helped mankind in numerous ways. In this article, we consider genetic modification strategies, including genome editing and genetic engineering, the techniques used to ...

A 2018 Washington Post article addressed the methods we use to breed food crops. But it suffered from a common shortcoming -- “pseudo-balance” -- or the seeking out of clueless commentators to ...

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have constructed a robot that uses machine learning to fully automate a complicated microinjection process used in genetic research.

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...
