New CLASSIC technique uses AI and massive DNA libraries to predict genetic circuit performance faster and more accurately.

The modification of the genetic makeup of cells. Genetic engineering modifies the DNA in cells to alter their behavior. In 1953, the discovery of the DNA double helix, technically deoxyribonucleic ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Higher yields, greater resilience to climatic changes or diseases—the demands on crop plants are constantly growing. To address these challenges, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

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 ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday initiated an immediate review of clinical trials that involved sending Americans’ living cells to China and other foreign adversaries for ...
