In experiments, researchers showed that the disease-spreading insects couldn’t resist the sweet smell of a fungus that infected and killed them.

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 ...

Modifying the genetic structure of organisms is a central part of modern biotechnology. This article will discuss biotechnology and genetic engineering, providing an overview of the subject.

A genetic engineering company has bold plans to “de-extinct” and “re-wild” the dodo bird — centuries after the flightless fowl waddled the planet. Colossal Biosciences unveiled Tuesday its “Jurassic ...

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 ...

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

Vegetable oils have wide-ranging uses, playing a role in everything from food processing, to perfume production to the manufacture of biofuels. With demand only expected to increase, a team of ...

Researchers in California are working to genetically engineer the cow microbiome — and in the process, eliminate methane emissions. DAVIS, Calif. — Sushi, a four-week-old Holstein calf, was lying in a ...

Over millennia, there has been a seamless continuum of technologies for genetic modification of plants, animals, and microorganisms, with progressive improvements in precision and predictability – a ...

Paul Berg, the Nobel Prize-winning biochemist whose ground-breaking experiments in gene-splicing reshaped cancer research and helped spawn the multibillion-dollar biotechnology industry, has died at ...

Microcephaly is a congenital malformation that leads to a significantly reduced brain size and is often accompanied by developmental delay.
