For the first time, scientists have successfully edited oat DNA, a breakthrough that could accelerate the development of oats with more fiber, higher yields, and greater resilience to climate change.
Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit. The researchers believe ...
A small but mighty microbe that can safely extract the rare earth and other critical elements for building everything from satellites to solar panels has another superpower: capturing carbon dioxide.
To achieve the European Green Deal's goal of 25% organic agriculture by 2030, researchers argue that new genomic techniques (NGTs) should be allowed without pre-market authorization in organic as well as conventional food ...
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have addressed a longstanding challenge in CRISPR genome editing—accurately predicting guide RNA (gRNA) activity.
A research team led by Prof. Xu Cao from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Chen Fan's team at Yazhouwan National Laboratory has successfully ...
The expression of symptoms of viral infections is a byproduct of complex virus-host molecular pathways. These remain largely unknown, especially in the case of fungus-virus pathogen systems.
Scientists at the McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have reengineered a compact RNA-guided enzyme they found in bacteria into an efficient, programmable editor of human DNA. The engineered protein, ...
The northern white rhinoceros is one of the rarest animals on Earth, with just two females left and no natural way for the species to reproduce.
Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, Aalto University and the University of Oulu have developed a new computational method for exploring DNA sequence patterns. The method, called KMAP, enables intuitive visualization ...
