WASHINGTON — There are hundreds of abnormal genes in cloned mice, which explains why so many cloned animals die at or before birth and proves that it would be irresponsible to clone a human being, ...

Pets just don't live long enough. We spend time, emotion, energy and lots of money caring for them, all while knowing we'll ...

Research by Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Huimin Zhao and graduate student Behnam Enghiad at the University of Illinois is pioneering a new method of genetic engineering for basic ...

Here we describe two methods for generating DNA fragments with single-stranded overhangs, like those generated by the activity of many restriction enzymes, by simple methods that do not involve DNA ...

A team of Michigan State University researchers has developed a new, more efficient way of cloning zebra fish, a breakthrough that could have implications for human health research. The work of the ...

There is great incentive to genetically engineer crops that possess desirable traits like greater biomass production and resistance to pathogens while requiring less resources, including space and ...

A recent study posted to the bioRxiv*preprint server described rapid mutagenesis and rescue of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants without cloning, using a novel ...

Every poll taken on the issue indicates that American consumers do not want cloned animals and their offspring in the food supply, and for good reason. The potential benefits of food animal cloning ...

DEBATE ABOUT using science to create “bespoke” human beings of one sort or another usually revolves around the ideas of genetic engineering and cloning. People worry about these for two reasons. One ...
