Controlling genes with light
New technique can rapidly turn genes on and off, helping scientists better understand their function.
Research update: Genome editing becomes more accurate
Improved technique makes it easier to add or delete genes in living cells, with less risk of off-target DNA damage.
Editing the genome with high precision
New method allows scientists to insert multiple genes in specific locations, delete defective genes.
Teaching a microbe to make fuel
Genetically modified organism could turn carbon dioxide or waste products into a gasoline-compatible transportation fuel.
