Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Splicing DNA in petri dish. The rise of gene-edited embryos has raised a myriad of ethical questions. It involves altering DNA to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In genetic sensor research, precision and sensitivity remain challenges. Against this backdrop, researchers now leveraged synthetic biology, high-throughput assays, and bioinformatics to enhance ...

The dissemination of genetically-engineered (GE) crops, like the adoption process associated with other farm-level technologies, is a dynamic process that both affects and is affected by the social ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

On November 13, 2025, the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Regulations 2025 (“2025 PB regulations”) took effect, completing the United Kingdom’s (UK’s) post-Brexit framework for gene-edited ...
