Biologist Matthew Cobb has examined both the potential and dangers of genetic engineering and has created a history of the world’s so-far inept attempts to appropriately regulate the new science.

By studying the Pitx1 gene, one of the genes involved in the construction of the lower limbs, a team has discovered how a small disturbance in the activation process of this gene is at the origin ...

The Genetic Age. Matthew Cobb. Profile Books. FOR more than 50 years, biologists have been genetically engineering organisms in increasingly precise ways. From the early, crude methods of the ...

In contrast to Neanderthal DNA, which makes up approximately 2% of the current human genome in non-Africans, ancient admixture was as much as 10 times higher and is present in all populations.

In this approach, T cells were removed from the patient, and treated with genetic engineering to correct the mutation in the DNA of those T cells.The cells were then reinserted into the patient. For ...
