Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have built a platform that steers cell behavior using ...

Researchers developed a retron-based system that enables DNA to function as an active intracellular tool rather than merely ...

POSTECH develops a platform for precise cellular control using "non-genetic DNA" decoupled from genetic information.

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

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 ...

The return of the long-extinct wooly mammoth or dodo bird may sound like a storyline straight out of science fiction. It’s not. Several de-extinction projects all share an ambitious aim to resurrect ...

Genetic medicines such as cell and gene therapies and mRNA vaccines offer extraordinary promise for treating a variety of diseases, including genetic disorders, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. These ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all ...

The modification of the genetic makeup of cells. Genetic engineering modifies the DNA in cells to alter their behavior. In 1953, the discovery of the DNA double helix, technically deoxyribonucleic ...
