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 ...

Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University researchers are helping to advance new techniques that allow scientists to site-specifically mutate and edit the genes of living organisms. The two researchers, ...

When you think of the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement, you might picture fertile soil, organic farms, and homeopathic remedies. For some, that vision is a welcome change; for others, it ...

The creation of a woolly-mouse embryo marks a significant leap in the field of de-extinction, bringing us one step closer to reviving the iconic woolly mammoth. By combining advanced gene-editing ...

Advanced biotechnology repurposes two bacterial immune systems to correct large stretches of DNA. Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark ...

CRISPR gene editing has transitioned from a laboratory curiosity to a cornerstone of modern biotechnology, revolutionizing our approach to genetic diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease ...

Changing an organism’s genome is a profound act, and the tools you use to make the changes don’t alleviate the need for responsible regulation. Unlike “traditional” genetically modified organisms (GMO ...

Gene therapy and gene editing are marvels of modern biotechnology, providing revolutionary techniques for fixing genetic abnormalities. Gene therapy introduces functional genetic material to ...

Mini-kidney organoids have now been grown in a laboratory by using genome editing to re-create human kidney disease in petri dishes. The achievement, believed to be the first of its kind, resulted ...

Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies,” said Colossal ...

Climate change and globalization have been playing a critical role in the expansion of the ecological range of invasive species including insect pests and disease vectors. This has increased requests ...
