The British company Oxitec, in partnership with Australia's CSIRO, has announced plans to release genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes in Queensland.
Saccharina japonica, one of the most widely cultivated seaweeds globally, is particularly prominent along China's coastline, where it has been farmed in both cold-temperate and subtropical waters. Although traditional selective ...
Insects do a lot more harm than ruining picnics. Some insects spread devastating diseases, while others cause staggering economic losses in agriculture. To control some of these pests, scientists are developing males that ...
A research team has introduced an innovative solution for the depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This solution utilizes an engineered whole-cell biocatalyst based on the thermophilic bacterium Clostridium ...
Researchers around the world are working on new technologies to capture carbon from the atmosphere, but many approaches fall short on one key metric: their ability to scale. Nature, however, has already developed its own ...
A team of scientists from the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences–Biotechnology at Forschungszentrum Jülich worked together with the company Novonesis to develop a bacterium that "eats" individual building blocks of different ...
Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon—using a cellular platform that they developed enabling the production ...
Rice University researchers have revealed novel sequence-structure-property relationships for customizing engineered living materials (ELMs), enabling more precise control over their structure and how they respond to deformation ...
The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.
Genetic changes have the ability to alter crop characteristics, and some crop breeding techniques take advantage of this. Conventionally, genetic engineering has relied on natural or artificial mutations.
