The genetic engineering of human beings has been a dream and a nightmare since scientists first speculated about it a century ago. Futurists and transhumanists have long thought that genetic ...

Still, contemplation of these and other issues related to genetic engineering is important should the ability to create genetically enhanced humans ever arise.

Japanese researchers used a nonviral piggyBac system to genetically modify cynomolgus monkeys, enabling more accurate disease ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis ...

Genetic engineering has revolutionized the field of medicine by enabling the production of recombinant proteins, such as insulin and human growth hormone, in bacteria or other host organisms. Gene ...

Bacterial cells have been genetically modified to produce substances such as human insulin ... researchers are hoping to use genetic engineering to be able to overcome some inherited disorders ...

Using advanced analysis based on full genome sequences, researchers from the University of Cambridge have found evidence that modern humans are the result of a genetic mixing event between two ancient ...

In a recently published study, researchers from the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in Italy ...
