Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

RNA-based genetic switches exhibit leaky expression even in the 'OFF' state, resulting in narrow dynamic range and genetic instability (top). SUPER adds synthetic sRNA as an auxiliary module to ...

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein fragments called dipeptides. By analyzing billions of dipeptide sequences ...

Thanks to Talk Polywell for the links to several more articles on Mach Propulsion Keith H. Wanser from the University of California has used Newton’s second law to explain propellantless acceleration, ...

Genetically modified organisms have been at the center of controversy for decades. But what does the science actually say? Modern genetic engineering allows scientists to introduce specific traits ...

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 ...

For two decades, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which advises the Pope on scientific issues, has made wise observations about the importance of molecular techniques for genetic modification and ...

A South Korean life sciences company plans to open a genetic testing lab in North Austin, a move that could create up to 200 jobs. Last week, the Austin City Council approved a $200,000 economic ...

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 ...

Another important milestone was reached recently for TSMC and ARM when the teams taped out at the end of December 2013 (see block diagram) the first 64 bit ARMv8 processors in a big.LITTLE ...
