The FINANCIAL — As Americans consider the possible uses of genetic engineering in animals, their reactions are neither uniformly accepting nor resistant; instead, public reactions vary depending on ...
The return of the long-extinct wooly mammoth or dodo bird may sound like a storyline straight out of science fiction. It’s not. Several de-extinction projects all share an ambitious aim to resurrect ...
The group that advocated for the GloFish carve-out is asking for more aquatic species to be exempt from the ban.
Despite the regulatory and funding roadblocks, Murray and fellow researcher Elizabeth Maga continue to work on a line of genetically engineered goats, which carry a human gene that produces elevated ...
The victims of extinction are countless and their killers numerous—but, in recent centuries, there’s been one obvious, enduring culprit: Homo sapiens. As humankind has increased in numbers and ...
WASHINGTON -- Scientists said Sunday that they have used genetic engineering techniques to produce the first cattle that may be biologically incapable of getting mad cow disease. The animals, which ...
As data management platforms go, the one developed by Colossal Biosciences stands in its own large petri dish as both innovative and out of the ordinary. After all, how many software tools help ...
Scientists in the laboratory of David Liu, PhD, at the Broad Institute of MIT, Harvard University, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) have designed an improved version of prime editing ...
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 ...
With CRISPR-Cas9 technology, humans can now rapidly change the evolutionary course of animals or plants by inserting genes that can easily spread through entire populations. An evolutionary geneticist ...
This video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW examines the threat of a virus being spread from birds to humans, and then from humans to humans. It details the mechanisms viruses use to infect cells, ...
