University researchers uncovered that dipeptides, basic protein building blocks, played a central role in shaping the genetic ...

Genetic engineering is considered one of the most sophisticated scientific tools for changing the genetic blueprint of a living organism according to our suitable design. This attention-seeking branch ...

Disease-resistant pigs, faster-growing fish and heat-tolerant cows are among a new class of animals that are being genetically engineered for the dining table. Similar meat products could soon be sold ...

Because of existing UN conventions and protocols, according to environmental law experts, a moratorium would have limited practical impact. For that reason, this debate feels like an era-defining ...

In an unprecedented leap in scientific discovery, a new lifeform has been constructed using a mere 57 genetic instructions.

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 ...

Cathy Eckert was recently appointed chief science officer at the Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI) at Oak Ridge National ...

Three genetically engineered wolves that may resemble extinct dire wolves are trotting, sleeping and howling in an undisclosed secure location in the U.S., according to the company that aims to bring ...

Dire wolves went extinct around 12,500 years ago. Now, thanks to genetic engineering, they're back in what the scientists have described as the "world's first de-extinction." "Our team took DNA from a ...
