Once a defining tree of eastern forests, the American chestnut was nearly erased by a foreign fungus within a few human ...

Biologists have engineered adeno-associated viruses that are better at capsid filling, potentially resulting in higher productivity.

Genetic engineering is moving faster than almost any other scientific field. New tools now allow researchers to edit DNA with ...

A research team has developed the "SUPER (Synthetic Upcycling Platform for Engineering Regulators)" platform, which dramatically enhances the performance and stability of gene regulatory devices. This ...

Funded by the UB Provost, the new Center for Cell, Gene and Tissue Engineering (CGTE) will be led by SUNY Distinguished Professor Stelios Andreadis. “I am very happy to announce the launch of the Cell ...

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 ...

Despite the regulatory and funding roadblocks, Murray and fellow researcher Elizabeth Maga continue to work on a line of genetically engineered goats, which carry a human gene that produces elevated ...

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 ...

Bigger, tastier tomatoes and eggplants could soon grace our dinner plates thanks to Johns Hopkins scientists who have discovered genes that control how large the fruits will grow. The research—led by ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

The group that advocated for the GloFish carve-out is asking for more aquatic species to be exempt from the ban.

Life Biosciences is pushing cellular rejuvenation into the clinic with ER-100, an experimental gene ...
