A DNA-editing feat involving editing the genes of early stage embryos—a far cry from designer babies, but nevertheless a step in that direction—was announced this week. Dieter Egli, an associate ...

Scientists at Columbia University have edited the DNA of early human embryos with unprecedented accuracy, an achievement that could open the way to babies engineered with particular characteristics.

Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long alarmed bioethicists. By Carl Zimmer Scientists at Columbia University have ...
