Scientists are researching ways to genetically modify plants and animals to be more resistant to threats like climate change.
Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human genome—comprising about 17% of the genome. It is commonly called a "jumping gene" or ...
MIT engineers develop a new system for precise control of synthetic gene expression, potentially advancing gene therapy.
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered how cells can adjust their gene activity to survive when oxygen runs low ...
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...
A research team from the Medical University of Vienna and the Medical University of Graz has discovered a previously unknown ...
