Recombinase efficiency increases allow Qi Biodesign to insert 20-30 kb (5 or 6 genes) at one time at one location across a variety of different crop genetics. In addition, a large team at Qi Biodesign ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

Could it also give us better tomatoes, a hybrid woolly mammoth-elephant that could help save Arctic forests, and perhaps even ...

enabling new intellectual property to be generated by engineering-in new functional domains. [Neoclease] Using rational design to find new gene editors, however, hasn’t yielded anything notably ...

The latest development was made possible through the targeted genetic engineering of imprinted genes. Those genes are typically expressed from only one copy from either the mother or father while ...

In 1975, researchers met to discuss the emerging field of biotechnology. The issues surrounding the field today are familiar.

Researchers developed a new gene-editing strategy that dramatically boosts the effectiveness of gene therapies in the liver, a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for about 700 genetic ...

The Penn physician-researcher has received more funding to advance his 'Trojan horse' for attacking gastroesophageal cancer.
