Scientists have found a way to use the bacteria E. coli to convert plastic waste into a popular painkiller, a study said Monday, though outside experts doubted the technique would make a dent in the ...

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 ...

For men with hemophilia B, receipt of gene therapy comprising an infusion of etranacogene dezaparvovec results in sustained endogenous factor IX expression and low annualized bleeding rates over five ...

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 ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

The 2001 anthrax letter attacks in the United States, the 2007 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, and the COVID-19 pandemic have something in common: Investigators have struggled to determine ...

Researchers at Applied BioSciences at Macquarie University and the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology at Macquarie University have developed a biological pest control method that targets ...

In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...
