Future AI-guided genomic analysis offers the potential to further optimize gene constructs, expression profiles, and performance traits, accelerating the development of next-generation materials.

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

Researchers experimenting with genetically engineered hamsters have found that the biology behind social behavior may be more complex than we thought. The team used CRISPR to block a certain ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

CRISPR systems are powerful tools for genetic engineering, but they have their limitations. Now, scientists have discovered almost 200 new CRISPR systems in their native habitat of bacteria, and found ...

Active Genetics (Pro-AG) exploits a naturally created bacterial mating tunnel between cells to inactivate antibiotic resistance.

Producing high levels of valuable medicinal compounds in plants has long been limited by the difficulty of precisely ...

Microbes have long been engaged in an arms race for dominance, and they have molecular weapons and defense mechanisms. This is where the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system originated; bacteria can chop ...

In another advance for CRISPR technology, researchers have devised a way to edit genes in insects, including cockroaches. The technique involves editing the genomes of female adults that are carrying ...
