Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems or redesign existing ones. It ...

Plants are fast-tracking their own evolution by "plugging in" genetic code stolen from their neighbors, according to new research that reveals the secret to their own successful genetic engineering.

GEN editors discuss both the news and history of DNA and genetic engineering. We present a recap of the 50 th anniversary of the Asilomar conference, delving into some of the history from the 1975 ...

Bacteria possess unique traits with great potential for benefiting society. However, current genetic engineering methods to harness these advantages are limited to a small fraction of bacterial ...

Cas9, Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), and Zinc-Finger nucleases (ZFNs) have demonstrated great utility, primarily for genetic knock-out applications, none have been adopted ...

Sherry Gao, Tyler Daniel (pictured) and their coauthors developed a new tool that can simultaneously and independently edit multiple genes and regulate their expression. Influential inventions often ...
