The term “de-extinction” often conjures images of Jurassic Park-style genetic manipulation, complete with ethical dilemmas and ecological chaos. But the reality of functional de-extinction—the ...

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 moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

The field of genetics is undergoing a quiet revolution, and it’s happening in the laboratories where scientists are learning to resurrect the genetic blueprints of extinct species. What began as an ...

In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...

What are Living Modified Organisms (LMOs)? Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using modern biotechnology techniques, such as genetic engineering.

Imagine if scientists could reach back through time and recover the genetic blueprints of species that vanished thousands of years ago, then use those ancient instructions to rebuild lost traits in ...
