Gene editing is a group of technologies that enable scientists to precisely alter an organism's DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or alteration of genetic material at specific ...

Deinococcus radiodurans can survive a range of harsh environments and is resistant to very high levels of ionizing and UV radiation, dehydration, cold, vacuum, and even acid. Therefore, the bacterium ...

Rapid and stable genetic engineering of the regenerating liver would allow systematic, in vivo testing of contributions by many genes to regenerating tissue. Following fumaryl acetoacetate hydrolase ...

RNAi adds insight not only to basic biology but also gives researchers a toolkit for RNAi-based gene expression manipulation. The latest findings in the field were presented at Select Biosciences’ ...

Encoded in our DNA are thousands of genes. Working together, they determine all sorts of physical attributes—from eye color and blood type to the number of limbs we have—and much, much more. It’s also ...

LONDON (AP) — Britain's fertility regulator has approved a scientist's request to edit the human genetic code in an effort to fight inherited diseases — but critics fear the new technique crosses too ...
