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 ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

FOR more than 50 years, biologists have been genetically engineering organisms in increasingly precise ways. From the early, crude methods of the 1960s and 1970s, to the modern “gene editing” ...

The "Ohne Gentechnik" (Without genetic engineering) logo and the German organic seal are seen on food packaging. A majority of EU member states have spoken out in favour of less stringent genetic ...

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

On 4 December, EU negotiators reached an agreement to deregulate plants engineered with new genomic techniques. In this op-ed ...
