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 ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

In the future researchers are hoping to use genetic engineering to be able to overcome some inherited disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease amongst others.

A new study has uncovered how the defense mechanisms of bacteria can be neutralized, facilitating more efficient genetic ...

Resistance to diseases could be introduced into susceptible crops using genetic engineering. Not only can this protect the crop, it can also safeguard farmers' livelihoods. An example is ...

But a recent comprehensive scientific review suggests that biotechnological tools, such as genetic engineering, tissue culture and molecular breeding, may help produce cannabis varieties that are ...

Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using modern biotechnology techniques, such as genetic engineering. These techniques enable the transfer of genes ...
