Modern crop breeding is entering a new era of genome design, led by genome editing technologies as mainstream tools for targeted genome modification. In a review published in Nature Reviews Genetics, ...

Europe’s firewall against genetic modification gets a major crack under a new deal. Crops tailor-made using new gene-splicing techniques should face fewer regulations than genetically modified ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

For the first time and with the help of CRISPR technology: A new large-scale genetic modification method makes it possible to reveal the role and properties of duplicated genes in plants The ...

Despite the importance of GoF modifications, they have sometimes faced misplaced concerns or opposition that could lead to their being overregulated or even banned.

The prime editor is a fusion protein consisting of a catalytically impaired Cas9 nickase (Cas9n) and an engineered reverse transcriptase (RT). The Cas9n is guided by a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) ...

India could not take full advantage of cultivating GM crops. But the story is more encouraging in GE crops, where there is ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

Genetic regulation of glucose homeostasis is central to the maintenance of human health and the prevention of metabolic disorders such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Recent advances in molecular ...
