In a rapidly changing climate landscape, the plants we rely on for food, textiles and more face a multitude of challenges, ...

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 ...

VectorBuilder, a global leader in gene delivery technologies and CDMO services, and MaxCyte, a leading, cell-engineering ...

Synthetic gene expression in engineered cells typically depends on the host cell’s limited pool of intracellular resources, which can lead to resource competition between native and engineered ...

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 ...

Gene drives are selfish genetic elements which promise to be powerful tools in the fight against vector-borne diseases such as malaria. We previously proposed population replacement gene drives ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. A team of scientists created a new gene-editing tool that they claim is more accurate than the industry standard, CRISPR. Researchers from the University ...

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 ...

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 ...

During her chemistry Nobel Prize lecture in 2018, Frances Arnold said, “Today we can for all practical purposes read, write, and edit any sequence of DNA, but we cannot compose it.” That isn’t true ...

GenScript is delighted to announce its 4th Annual Virtual Summit on Gene and Cell Engineering. This event will feature leading experts from academia, pharma, and biotech, showcasing the transformative ...

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 ...
