Genetic engineering is considered one of the most sophisticated scientific tools for changing the genetic blueprint of a living organism according to our suitable design. This attention-seeking branch ...

Because of existing UN conventions and protocols, according to environmental law experts, a moratorium would have limited practical impact. For that reason, this debate feels like an era-defining ...

Scientists are hoping to use genetic engineering to reduce the transmission of Lyme disease. The scientists' target is not ...

Researchers from the University of Sheffield are investigating how plants use "natural genetic engineering" to borrow genes ...

With CRISPR-Cas9 technology, humans can now rapidly change the evolutionary course of animals or plants by inserting genes that can easily spread through entire populations. An evolutionary geneticist ...

Professor Adam Paré's research identifies the fundamental mechanisms that mold tissues during animal development. On Wednesday, he will discuss epithelial remodeling during development.
