As genetic sequencing technology becomes more accessible and efficient, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the genetic underpinnings of various diseases. This knowledge has led ...

In genetic sensor research, precision and sensitivity remain challenges. Against this backdrop, researchers now leveraged synthetic biology, high-throughput assays, and bioinformatics to enhance ...

Genetic technologies have the potential to help solve the ever-growing challenges of food insecurity and global health. But for this potential to be met, regulations that hinder scientific innovation ...

Genetic sequencing has gone through several advances. A major breakthrough came when scientists began breaking the billions of letters that compose DNA up into relatively small bits of a few hundred ...

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 ...

Matthew Cobb is professor emeritus at the University of Manchester, UK, and author of The Genetic Age (Profile Books, 2022). On 24 February 1975, some 150 people met at the Asilomar Conference Grounds ...

The famous and rightly revered genetic technology CRISPR made headlines recently for saving a baby from a rare genetic condition. CRISPR is considered the front line of gene tech, and it’s already on ...

CRISPR will get easier and easier to administer. What does that mean for the future of our species? In 2016, I attended a large meeting of journalists in Washington, DC. The keynote speaker was ...

With potentially huge sums at stake, a federal court on Monday reinstated UC Berkeley’s legal claim seeking nationwide rights to develop and market gene editing, the transfer of genetic technology ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit.
