Higher yields, greater resilience to climatic changes or diseases—the demands on crop plants are constantly growing. To ...

Gene-edited crops are no safer than GMOs, and fast-tracking regulatory approval could trigger a costly backlash.

CRISPR’s promise of curing diseases hit a setback when researchers discovered that AZD7648, a molecule designed to improve precision, also caused catastrophic hidden damage to DNA. Instead of perfect ...

For the first time, KIT researchers managed to reduce the number of chromosomes in a plant by fusing two chromosomes. (Illustration: Michelle Rönspies ...

Co-authored by Sheena Wang and Ellie Purnell of HGF limited, “CRISPR and Agriculture” was originally published by Food and Drink Technology on January 29, 2025. To access the article on the Food and ...

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have been found in ...

In a groundbreaking fusion of artificial intelligence and gene editing, researchers are leveraging machine learning to enhance CRISPR technology’s precision and efficiency. This integration is opening ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...
