Of course, it is easy to support genetic engineering to correct dire dysfunction. The problems arise when we start engineering for “improvements.” ...

Jennifer Doudna is a co-founder of the CRISPR gene editing tool.

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do.

The genetic engineering behind pig-to-human transplants A paper on a transplant to a brain-dead recipient provides details on the donor.

Working on a remote island, scientists think they can use genetic engineering to block a malaria-carrying species of mosquito from spreading the disease — and do it in just a few months. But ...

Many of the amino acids that make up proteins are encoded by genetic material in more than one way. An information theorist explains how principles of nature may account for this variance.

His recent work determined genetic engineering would be covered by the Endangered Species Act and that the existing law would provide regulatory oversight and authority to federal agencies. His ...
