Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...
Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed ...
It is a naturally occurring biological event and was employed in the first-generation strategy for engineering phage genomes. This classical genetic strategy (called phage crosses) was used as a ...
Developmental biologist Zhi-kun Li of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, first author of the new study, said it represents "a notable accomplishment in mammalian genetic engineering." He said the ...
Scientists in China have engineered embryonic stem cells to produce lab mice with two male parents. Though these mice reached adulthood with developmental issues, the method offers insights into ...
