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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Genetic engineering has brought us revolutionary advances in medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. However, the precise manipulation of DNA sequences has ...

Mitochondrial diseases affect approximately 1 in 5,000 people worldwide, causing debilitating symptoms ranging from muscle weakness to stroke-like episodes. Some of these conditions result from ...

Some conservation groups are calling for an effective ban on genetic modification, but others say these technologies are crucial for preserving biodiversity ...

Scientists are hoping to use genetic engineering to reduce the transmission of Lyme disease. The scientists' target is not the deer or the ticks often associated with the disease; it's wild mice.
