Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active ...

New research has discovered that the molecular machines responsible for copying our DNA have a surprising hidden talent: an ...

Researchers developed a retron-based system that enables DNA to function as an active intracellular tool rather than merely ...

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

Advances in genetic engineering, especially tools like CRISPR, are allowing scientists to edit DNA with a level of precision ...

POSTECH develops a platform for precise cellular control using "non-genetic DNA" decoupled from genetic information.

GEN editors discuss both the news and history of DNA and genetic engineering. We present a recap of the 50 th anniversary of the Asilomar conference, delving into some of the history from the 1975 ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all without editing or altering the cell’s genome. The system, published in Nature ...

Genetic medicines such as cell and gene therapies and mRNA vaccines offer extraordinary promise for treating a variety of diseases, including genetic disorders, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. These ...

The modification of the genetic makeup of cells. Genetic engineering modifies the DNA in cells to alter their behavior. In 1953, the discovery of the DNA double helix, technically deoxyribonucleic ...
