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 ...

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 ...

THIS WEEK, between January 18th and 27th, thousands of volunteers in a band of territory stretching across north-eastern Australia from Darwin to Brisbane are venturing into the night with torches and ...

Influential inventions often combine existing tools in new ways. The iPhone, for instance, amalgamated the telephone, web browser and camera, among many other devices. The same is now possible in gene ...

Genetic sensors play a crucial role within organisms by regulating gene expression in response to environmental stimuli. Despite their significance, their development is impeded by challenges such as ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

On November 13, 2025, the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Regulations 2025 (“2025 PB regulations”) took effect, completing the United Kingdom’s (UK’s) post-Brexit framework for gene-edited ...
