A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...

Genetic regulation of glucose homeostasis is central to the maintenance of human health and the prevention of metabolic disorders such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Recent advances in molecular ...

Europe’s firewall against genetic modification gets a major crack under a new deal. Crops tailor-made using new gene-splicing techniques should face fewer regulations than genetically modified ...

Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted ...

Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

Researchers funded by the U.S. Navy have used gene-editing technology to make house spiders produce red fluorescent silk. This might seem like a quirky scientific novelty, but the breakthrough is a ...

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

Scientists have identified new gene modifications that can make tomatoes and eggplants grow bigger, which could help boost yields in developing countries. Humans have been genetically engineering ...

Knockdown of CUL5 gene enhances CAR-T cells’ prolification and survival compared to conventional CAR-T cells, making them better at fighting cancer. Researchers have identified a method to enhance the ...

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 ...

Genetically engineered humans may still sound like science fiction. But there's a new push to edit the genes of human embryos to eliminate diseases and enhance characteristics parents value.
