Chromosomes can vary in length and size, but they usually carry thousands of base pairs of DNA. While scientists have successfully edited the genomes of many creatures, most of those edits have been ...

A new university spinout company is hoping to use synthetic biology to transform gene therapy manufacture. SynGenSys, from the University of Sheffield, plans to tap into engineering design principles ...

At a meeting of top conservation groups this week, a bioethics question took center stage: Should scientists be allowed to tinker with the genes of wild plants and animals? The tentative consensus so ...
