Modern genetic research is “pushing the boundaries of what’s possible” by bringing extinct animals back to life, but could it ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

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 ...

Synthetic genetic circuits enable the reprogramming of cells, advancing the study and application of biology with greater precision. However, quantitative circuit design is hampered by the limited ...

Biodiversity loss resulting from habitat destruction, climate change and other anthropogenic pressures threatens the resilience of ecosystems globally. Traditional conservation methods are critically ...

Should we genetically modify wild lions? Of course not, might be your instant response. But what if lions were being wiped out by a devastating disease introduced by people? What if the genetic change ...

Scientists claim to have brought the dire wolf species back from extinction after more than 10,000 years. “De-extinction” company Colossal Biosciences has announced that it has successfully created ...

Over millennia, there has been a seamless continuum of technologies for genetic modification of plants, animals, and microorganisms, with progressive improvements in precision and predictability – a ...

Sherry Gao, Tyler Daniel (pictured) and their coauthors developed a new tool that can simultaneously and independently edit multiple genes and regulate their expression. Influential inventions often ...

Influential inventions often combine existing tools in new ways. The iPhone, for instance, amalgamated the telephone, web browser and camera, among many other devices. The same is now possible in gene ...

Kristofer Mussar, PhD, is COO of VectorBuilder and MD of VectorBuilder GmbH, leading global operations and innovation in gene delivery. What if business leaders approached strategy the way scientists ...
