Rapidly Developing Field Is an Amalgam of Genetics, Automation, and Computer Algorithms Synthetic biology is an exciting and rapidly evolving field of research that can broadly be defined as the ...

Bacteria possess unique traits with great potential for benefiting society. However, current genetic engineering methods to harness these advantages are limited to a small fraction of bacterial ...

Chromosomes can vary in length and size, but they usually carry thousands of base pairs of DNA. While scientists have successfully edited the genomes of many creatures, most of those edits have been ...

A new university spinout company is hoping to use synthetic biology to transform gene therapy manufacture. SynGenSys, from the University of Sheffield, plans to tap into engineering design principles ...

The IUCN vote holds no legal weight in any nation, but it is of huge symbolic, cultural and political importance. By ...

Higher yields, greater resilience to climatic changes or diseases—the demands on crop plants are constantly growing. To ...

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...

Research suggests that negative perceptions of genetically modified and genetically engineered foods could be easing, promoting some to suggest that consumers in Europe are ready to move on from ...

A systems biology approach to examine the effects of SARS-CoV-2 virus in lung and whole blood identified new COVID-19 genetic signatures that could represent potential therapeutic or diagnostic ...
