A new technology elucidated yesterday in the journal Nature has the potential to be a leap forward in DNA synthesis, allowing ...

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 ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Influential inventions often combine existing tools in new ways. The iPhone, for instance, amalgamated the telephone, web ...

(Reuters) - Scientists in China have manipulated embryonic stem cells to create laboratory mice with two male parents that managed to live to adulthood - though with significant developmental ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

Humans have been selectively breeding cats and dogs for thousands of years to make more desirable pets. A new startup called the Los Angeles Project aims to speed up that process with genetic ...

Despite the regulatory and funding roadblocks, Murray and fellow researcher Elizabeth Maga continue to work on a line of genetically engineered goats, which carry a human gene that produces elevated ...

DNA nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that exploits the inherent base-pairing rules of DNA to design and assemble nanoscale structures with high precision. These engineered constructs have ...

Scientists are hoping to use genetic engineering to reduce the transmission of Lyme disease. The scientists' target is not the deer or the ticks often associated with the disease; it's wild mice.

Forensics experts gather DNA to understand who was present at a crime scene. But what if the crime occurred in the middle of ...
