Seed banks are facilities of great value to biodiversity and agriculture around the world. These facilities are used to house stocks of seeds of a wide variety, helping to maintain genetic diversity ...

We discuss the heritability of genetic modification in animals, using flu-resistant chickens as an example. I note the challenges of applying these modifications across various breeds but emphasize ...

Over millennia, there has been a seamless continuum of technologies for genetic modification of plants, animals, and microorganisms, with progressive improvements in precision and predictability – a ...

The rise of gene-edited embryos has raised a myriad of ethical questions. It involves altering DNA to prevent disease or even to choose specific traits using a method known as CRISPR. In 2018, Chinese ...

Working on a remote island, scientists think they can use genetic engineering to block a malaria-carrying species of mosquito from spreading the disease — and do it in just a few months. But ...

This business acquisition appears to be a genetic match: Colossal Biosciences, the company that brought back the dire wolves, has acquired Viagen Pets and Equine, which has cloned dogs for Paris ...

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 ...

Extinction is a very real and pressing crisis, threatening biodiversity around the world despite some of the best efforts by conservationists. Where conventional conservation methods have fallen short ...

A discovery, several years in the making, by a UB research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and ...

A genetic modification in the 'coat' of a brain infection-causing virus may allow it to escape antibodies, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. They say testing people for this and ...
