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 ...

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 ...

DENVER, Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CRISPR gene-editing, and related genome engineering technologies, are reshaping industries from medicine to materials, with breakthroughs in treating genetic ...

A team of scientists created a new gene-editing tool that they claim is more accurate than the industry standard, CRISPR. Researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia, developed what is called ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

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 ...

Want a bespoke baby? Check the beauty, brains, or brawn boxes on the embryo order form. Genetic tinkering is no longer science fiction — it’s a market without legal guidelines or societal buy-in. But ...

The return of the long-extinct wooly mammoth or dodo bird may sound like a storyline straight out of science fiction. It’s not. Several de-extinction projects all share an ambitious aim to resurrect ...

Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...
