An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify ...

Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory and Trudeau Institute have identified the first mouse strain that is susceptible to severe COVID-19 without the need for genetic modification. This development, ...

Genetic technologies have the potential to help solve the ever-growing challenges of food insecurity and global health. But for this potential to be met, regulations that hinder scientific innovation ...

Out of these eight strains of mice, only the CAST mouse was susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, including beta, omicron and delta variants. The eight strains include A/J, B6J, CAST, 129S1, NSG, NZO, PWK, and ...

Genetic modification once belonged strictly to science fiction, but it’s rapidly becoming reality. Scientists can now alter ...

Sylvia Nissen receives funding as a researcher on the MBIE Endeavour-funded project ‘Whatu raranga o ngā koiora: Weaving cultural authority into gene-drives targeting wasps’. Genetic modification is ...

A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...

It’s one small step for mice, one giant leap for mammoth-kind. Scientists endeavoring to “de-extinct” woolly mammoths through genetic modification have taken a meaningful step toward achieving their ...

Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, MIT researchers ...

Researchers have introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening a potential pathway for rapid crop improvement. University of Queensland researchers have for the first time ...
