The gene editing program CRISPR has become a hot topic in recent years, but I am torn between whether or not I support the modification of the unborn; in one sense, the practice seems beneficial, but ...

The prime editor is a fusion protein consisting of a catalytically impaired Cas9 nickase (Cas9n) and an engineered reverse transcriptase (RT). The Cas9n is guided by a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit.

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 ...

The term “de-extinction” often conjures images of Jurassic Park-style genetic manipulation, complete with ethical dilemmas and ecological chaos. But the reality of functional de-extinction—the ...

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 ...

Imagine if scientists could reach back through time and recover the genetic blueprints of species that vanished thousands of years ago, then use those ancient instructions to rebuild lost traits in ...

By directly communicating with the brain, a new wireless device could someday help restore lost senses or manage pain without medications, its developers say.
