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 ...

Historically, such efforts have involved the use of performance-enhancing drugs ... Still, contemplation of these and other issues related to genetic engineering is important should the ability ...

Genetic circuit engineering is the synthesis of unnatural DNA segments encoding protein or RNA molecules that control each other’s levels. Genetic circuit engineering is the bottom-up ...

Microorganisms—bacteria, viruses and other tiny life forms—may drive biological variation in visible life as much, if not more, than genetic mutations, creating new lineages and even new ...

such as genetic engineering, tissue culture and molecular breeding, may help produce cannabis varieties that are more stable and more tailored to specific medicinal needs. One potential use for ...
