NSF CAREER award recipient Tomas Gonzalez-Fernandez, an assistant professor of bioengineering in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, leads research at the ...

New genetic engineering technique CRISPR could help create both crops and animals that are more immune to environmental challenges.

Imagine if you could fix a spelling mistake in a long document with just one click. Now, imagine doing the same with the genetic code of a plant or even a human cell. That’s ...

Unquestionably, we will emerge from this revolutionary period with modified views of components of cells and how they operate, but only, however, to await the emergence of the next revolutionary phase ...

A new study published in Nucleic Acids Research unveils crucial advances in the engineering of CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs)—a class of natural, RNA-guided DNA integration systems. According ...

New research, pioneered by a first year Ph.D. student and researchers at the University of St Andrews' School of Biology, has identified an important new component of the CRISPR genome engineering ...

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 ...

The modification of the genetic makeup of cells. Genetic engineering modifies the DNA in cells to alter their behavior. In 1953, the discovery of the DNA double helix, technically deoxyribonucleic ...
