American researchers have developed a method to increase livestock production while imparting specific traits to the animals.

University of Warwick research demonstrates how to engineer "cell factories" that last longer and produce more chemicals, ...

Genetic modification of mammalian cells has vast use in biotherapeutics development and basic research applications. An important step early on is the isolation of clones with the desired mutation ...

The field of genetic engineering has amassed a huge toolbox: massive online datasets, gene editing tools, and genomic sequencing that is quick and cheap. The missing piece of the puzzle, according to ...

As species continue to face massive extinction, preserving genetic material through judicious biobanking to enable cloning is key to promoting the survival of species and maintaining biodiversity.

A recent study posted to the bioRxiv*preprint server described rapid mutagenesis and rescue of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants without cloning, using a novel ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a ...
