Manipulating genetics has helped mankind in numerous ways. In this article, we consider genetic modification strategies, including genome editing and genetic engineering, the techniques used to ...

Scientists are pioneering a new method of genetic engineering for basic and applied biological research and medicine. Their work has the potential to open new doors in genomic research by ...

A technology known as a gene drive might be deployed to re-engineer species and stop diseases like malaria. But a scientific advisory panel says research and use should proceed with great caution.

But current genetic engineering methods are time-consuming and involve many steps. The approaches have other limitations as well.

Previous genetic engineering methods, including CRISPR Cas9-based gene-editing, have been ill-suited to bacteria because these methods involve "cutting and pasting" DNA, the researchers said.

They also successfully used a variety of methods, including RNA-Seq, TAR-Seq, and Barcode-Seq, to read both the genetic barcodes and the entire transcriptomes of hiPSCs, enabling researchers to ...

If necessity is the mother of invention, frustration is the father. When scientists kept running into aggravating problems with the existing tools and methods they were using to perform genetic ...
