Scientists are hoping to use genetic engineering to reduce the transmission of Lyme disease. The scientists' target is not ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

Colossal Biosciences, a Texas-based science company, announced on Wednesday that it is working to bring back the dodo bird ...

Earth’s most diverse biological entities are the viruses that infect bacteria, called bacteriophages (phages). They are rich resources for discovering proteins and tools for biotechnology, but many ...

CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in ...

Colossal Biosciences has just had a major breakthrough in its attempt to revive the dodo bird from extinction. What are the ...

In 2024 and 2025, Colossal Biosciences announced the birth of pups they called dire wolves. Using edited gray wolf DNA, scientists altered 20 genes to mimic dire wolf traits. But no actual dire wolf ...

The new prime editors are about as efficient as their predecessors but make up to 60-fold fewer ‘indel’ mistakes.

Scientists hope genetically modified mice will curb the spread of Lyme disease. They headed to Nantucket — home to a large ...
