Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

If necessity is the mother of invention, frustration is the father. When scientists kept running into aggravating problems with the existing tools and methods they were using to perform genetic ...

New gene editing techniques, like adenine base editing and prime editing, are creating new possibilities for treating dilated cardiomyopathy, a heart condition affecting about 1 in 250 people ...

In a little-noticed study published earlier this year, scientists from Oregon Health & Science University reported the birth of three mouse pups that had been created with a never-before-used recipe ...

Reproductive Cloning is the process of making a full living copy of an organism. Reproductive cloning of animals transplants nuclei from body cells into eggs that have had their nucleus removed. That ...

Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), an institution under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, has discovered that a small ...

Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies,” said Colossal ...

Colossal Biosciences has announced its first acquisition, bringing Viagen Pets and Equine, the world leader in animal cloning, into its growing biotechnology family. Viagen made headlines a few years ...

Today’s genetic engineers have a plethora of resources at their disposal: an ever-increasing number of massive datasets available online, highly precise gene editing tools like CRISPR, and cheap gene ...
