In a new development, researchers have successfully created an efficient two-line system for hybrid seed production in ...

Plant breeding plays a vital role in ensuring global food security by increasing crop yields, improving nutritional quality ...

A study has constructed an unprecedented pangenome map of wild and cultivated rice, and decoded the genetic architecture and ...

The study found that wild rice has a higher abundance and diversity of disease-resistant genes than cultivated rice. Han's ...

You might have heard of them from mRNA vaccines. Now, researchers are using this same technology to deliver CRISPR—the powerful gene-editing tool—straight into tumor cells. CRISPR is like a ...

A rice pangenome map has been constructed that incorporates the genomes of nearly 150 wild and cultivated rice varieties.

In an initial trial, a single dose of a CRISPR gene-editing therapy lowered cholesterol levels without any serious side effects. The “Heart-2” trial – organised by the biotech company Verve ...

The company focuses on CRISPR gene editing, a technique that repairs faulty genes involved in disease; it does this by cutting DNA at a specific location and allowing a repair process to happen.

Scientists have developed a novel gene editing tool that could have vast implications for research and therapeutics. This technology is called STITCHR (site-specific target-primed insertion through ...
