For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful gene editing system that has revolutionized our ability to treat disease and probe the human genome. CRISPR has been used to edit the genomes of animals, plants, and microbes ...

The U.S. military is interested in ‘super spiders’ capable of producing silk with extraordinary features. Don’t worry—it sounds more terrifying than it actually is.

Scientists have bred spiders that weave red draglines, proving that the animals’ silk can be genetically re-engineered.

Some species in the genus Arkys are not triangular at all and instead resemble bird droppings as further camouflage. These ...

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc. announced milestones in production and development of its engineered spider silk for future ...

First, he said, they came across strange silk cases decorated with the minuscule body parts of insects and spiders found in the forested mountains on the island of Oahu. Then he noticed that these ...

Following the genetic modification, the spiders produced red fluorescent silk. The findings of the study have been published in the journal Angewandte Chemie. Spider silk is one of the most ...
