Scientists have genetically modified isolated microbes for decades. Now, using CRISPR, they intend to target entire microbiomes.

A green fluorescent dye with a novel DNA binding mechanism improves signal-to-noise in different DNA amplification assays.

A parasitic worm accumulates epigenetic DNA tags over its lifetime.  

Bioengineered bacteria sneak past solid tumor defenses to guide CAR T cells’ attacks.

With the help of directed evolution, scientists inch closer to developing viral vectors that can cross the human blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapy.

Engineered bacteria sound the alarm on a common oncogenic mutation.

Genetic variants that reduce the editing levels of double-stranded RNA are associated with autoimmune and immune-mediated conditions, a study finds.

Researchers discover that bacteria break down medicinal compounds for their nitrogen, solving a mystery that has vexed aquatic veterinarians for years.
