Jeffrey Epstein corresponded with and funded numerous top scientists, with whom he shared his deranged ideas for improving ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

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 ...

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 of Sydney, Australia, developed what is called ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

An understanding of the origin and dynamics of heritable genetic variation within classical animal breeding programs is needed to provide the context for understanding the contributions and concerns ...
