Epigenetic variation, like genetic variation, can be inherited and influence traits across generations. However, epigenetic ...

A consortium of EU-based scientists and bioethicists raise concerns about the implications and threats of artificial ...

Using genetic and synthetic biology tools ... they hope to move from tinkering with genes in the lab to creating organisms with a global impact. By engineering plants from the ground up, scientists ...

A breeder can thus quickly evaluate the plants that are produced and then select those that best express the desired trait. Producing new varieties of crops through genetic engineering takes about ...

Scientists at Colossal Biosciences achieved the first de-extinction by resurrecting dire wolves, which went extinct 12,500 ...

Risks of genetic engineering: Transfer of the selected gene into other species. What benefits one plant may harm another. Some people believe it is not ethical to interfere with nature in this way.

Transgenic plants are plants into which one or more genes from another species have been introduced into the genome, using genetic engineering processes. Techniques include the biolistic method ...

An example is genetically engineered papaya plants in Hawaii, which are resistant to papaya ringspot virus. In the future researchers are hoping to use genetic engineering to be able to overcome ...

they identified two new tetranins -- Tet3 and Tet4 -- that appear to reduce the reproduction of spider mites on the plants. After a series of experiments involving genetic engineering and advanced ...

The plant breeding and CRISPR plants market is estimated at USD 8.91 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 13.86 ...
