For decades, synthetic biologists have been developing gene circuits that can be transferred into cells for applications such ...

Molecular instructions in living cells can be timed rather like the notes or chords in a piece of music. For example, a finite number of genes can be activated and expressed in different orders, for ...

Some scientists looking to preserve vulnerable species have turned to a controversial technique: synthetic biology. This ...

MIT engineers develop a new system for precise control of synthetic gene expression, potentially advancing gene therapy.

The world’s largest network of environmental groups approved the exploration of genetic engineering tools to aid in the ...

Scientists are researching ways to genetically modify plants and animals to be more resistant to threats like climate change.

Synthetic genomics has emerged as a transformative field, enabling the design and construction of artificial genomes to ...

Proponents of the use of synthetic biology say it could bring some species back from the brink of extinction and help fight ...
