Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change ...

Biology students at the University of Minnesota take a course in their very first semester in which they propose their own gene-based solution to a problem. Among the projects they have worked on was ...

A pioneer of one of RIT’s earliest study abroad programs and a founding member of the biotechnology and molecular bioscience program has retired. Professor Robert Rothman from the Thomas H. Gosnell ...

Higher yields, greater resilience to climatic changes or diseases—the demands on crop plants are constantly growing. To ...

Elaborate competitions to build the best robot or design cages to protect falling eggs have been a rite of passage for generations of engineering students. Today, there’s a new contest with the same ...

Lack of genetic diversity can have dire consequences: illness, early death, even extinction for some species. A couple of cases in point — dogs and coffee — seem otherwise unrelated. But both can ...

More precise than cross-breeding methods, genetic engineering provides the best shot at restoring the environmental and economic importance of the American chestnut. An estimated 3 billion to 6 ...
