(Nanowerk Spotlight) Genetic engineering has brought us revolutionary advances in medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. However, the precise manipulation of DNA sequences has ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Discover how scientists are harnessing the power of CRISPR to precisely edit DNA, revolutionizing medicine and ethics as they rewrite the very code of life. Pixabay, PublicDomainPictures CRISPR ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Genetic medicines such as cell and gene therapies and mRNA vaccines offer extraordinary promise for treating a variety of diseases, including genetic disorders, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. These ...

Fifty years ago today, scientists met to set safety limits on the new field of genetic engineering. This week researchers meet again to discuss big questions as biotechnology grows more powerful.
