Genetic manipulation of Staphylococcus species underpins our understanding of these versatile bacteria, ranging from innocuous skin commensals to formidable pathogens such as Methicillin-resistant ...

An understanding of the origin and dynamics of heritable genetic variation within classical animal breeding programs is needed to provide the context for understanding the contributions and concerns ...

Genetic manipulation of malaria parasites has transformed our understanding of Plasmodium biology and accelerated the search for novel interventions. Early approaches relied on homologous ...

Engineered immune cell therapies offer the promise of more tailored interventions than traditional systemic checkpoint blockades, but so far remain ineffective across the majority of clinical settings ...

Genetically modified organisms have been at the center of controversy for decades. But what does the science actually say? Modern genetic engineering allows scientists to introduce specific traits ...

Update: since this article was published, South Africa’s health authorities have withdrawn the section on heritable human genome editing that was included in version 3 of the National Health Research ...

Over the past century, worldwide consumption of food-animal products such as meat, milk, and eggs has steadily grown due to increases in global population and per capita income that fuel demand for ...
