Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

At a meeting of top conservation groups this week, a bioethics question took center stage: Should scientists be allowed to tinker with the genes of wild plants and animals? The tentative consensus so ...

Influential inventions often combine existing tools in new ways. The iPhone, for instance, amalgamated the telephone, web ...

Researchers at DTU Biosustain (The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability at DTU) have developed a new tool that significantly accelerates and simplifies the genetic engineering of yeast ...

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 ...

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have emerged as a powerful optimisation tool in product design and user-centred engineering, drawing inspiration from the principles of biological evolution. They use ...
