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 ...

Now, research from Northwestern Engineering ... learning to read the genetic code. Understanding this new geometric code became possible only through recent advances in globally-unique imaging, ...

GEN editors discuss both the news and history of DNA and genetic engineering. We present a recap of the 50 th anniversary of the Asilomar conference, delving into some of the history from the 1975 ...

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.

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.

For nearly a decade, Jared Westbrook has worked on resurrecting the American chestnut, an iconic tree that nearly vanished from the United States a century ago. The American Chestnut Foundation, a ...
