An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify ...

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 ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long faced significant hurdles, largely due to the dependence on virus-based methods for gene delivery. Now, a research team in Japan has taken an ...
