A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems. The study, published online in Cell on August ...

Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells have been the industrial workhorse for production of biopharmaceuticals since the 1980s, with the first CHO-derived product approved by the FDA in 1987. Nearly five ...

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 ...

Changing an organism’s genome is a profound act, and the tools you use to make the changes don’t alleviate the need for responsible regulation. Unlike “traditional” genetically modified organisms (GMO ...

A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed two new genome editing technologies, ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...

Across biomanufacturing, disease modeling, synthetic biology, and cell therapy development, researchers increasingly need to insert large DNA constructs into mammalian genomes. Yet despite significant ...

The return of the long-extinct wooly mammoth or dodo bird may sound like a storyline straight out of science fiction. It’s not. Several de-extinction projects all share an ambitious aim to resurrect ...

Biotech meets livestock: CRISPR and genomic tools are enabling traits like disease resistance, faster growth, and better feed efficiency in cattle, sheep, and other farm animals. Ethics under ...
