Genetic Engineering

High-profile investors like Bryan Johnson have made significant contributions, claiming to reverse their biological age through strict regimens.

The ambitious field of de-extinction is inching closer to reality with companies like Colossal Biosciences leading the charge. The company aims to revive extinct species such as the woolly mammoth by 2028. Their method involves transferring mammoth genes, which encode traits like shaggy fur and curved tusks, into the DNA of Asian elephants. Despite...

Students qualifying Class 12th this year from Science stream can get themselves admitted to alternative UG courses including Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery, Unani Medicine and Surgery, Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering and Genetic Engineering.

Plastic waste — that includes carry bags, soft drink or water bottles, more — may soon be converted into vanilla flavouring using genetically engineered bacteria. According to new research by scientists at the University of Edinburgh, there's a way to turn plastic waste into vanillin — the main flavour component of vanilla beans — using E. ...

In an article in Cell, National Institutes of Health-funded researchers described how they used advanced genetic engineering techniques to transform a bacterial protein into a new research tool that may help monitor serotonin transmission with greater fidelity than current methods.

Ending speculations about deliberate genetic engineering of new coronavirus, scientists from the Scripps Research Institute, a non-profit research organization, have claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic is not from a lab-created virus but has a natural origin.

SpaceX made an early holiday delivery to the International Space Station on Sunday, bringing muscle-bound “mighty mice,” pest-killing worms and a smart, empathetic robot.

Scientists have succeeded in wiping out a population of caged mosquitoes in laboratory experiments using a type of genetic engineering known as a gene drive, which spread a modification blocking female reproduction.

According to experts, desi tamatar or Indian tomatoes are a better bet for your curries than the hybrid and genetically engineered varieties.

In this treatment, the patient's immune system is genetically engineered to fight cancer cells. Read all about it here.

A team of scientists in Japan have taken genetic engineering a notch higher by inventing a breed of hens that can lay eggs filled with cancer-fighting drugs.

According to a new report, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed US journal, a team of scientists have discovered a way to genetically engineer corn to produce a type of amino acid that is found in meat.

Japanese researchers have genetically engineered hens whose eggs contain drugs that can fight serious diseases including cancer, in a bid to dramatically reduce the cost of treatment, a report said Monday.

Internet giant Google has fired the male engineer at the center of an uproar in Silicon Valley over the past week after he authored an internal memo asserting there are biological causes behind gender inequality in the tech industry.

In a screed that rocketed around Silicon Valley this weekend, a software engineer at Google blasted the company's efforts to increase the number of minorities and women in its ranks and leadership positions.
