Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Engineering offers high salaries, strong job growth, and high satisfaction rates. With roles spanning from software to ...

As genetic engineering technologies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) improve and ...

Almost 100 years ago, Carrie Buck was raped, labeled an “imbecile,” and sterilized by order of the state — all in the name of genetic progress. Today, we no longer use that word, but the dream of ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...
