(KERO) — Genetic modification is not a new concept. Imagine if doctors were able to modify human cells to become cancer killers. In 2010 two men with a form of blood cancer agreed to be part of an ...

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 ...

GMO crops have had their DNA altered to be more resistant to pesticides and less expensive to produce, but some experts have ...

Humans have selectively bred animals and crops since the beginning of agriculture, but advances in biotechnology have provided genetic tools to select specific traits. First applied to animals in the ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit.

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 ...

It’s still far too premature to try to use powerful new technologies to edit genes that can be passed down from generation to generation, according to the organizers of the Third International Summit ...

Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

Over 90 NGOs urge moratorium on genetic engineering in the wild as World Conservation Congress meets in Abu Dhabi ...

Researchers have developed a way to improve crop quality without needing to create special genetically modified plants. The new technique relies on a spray that introduces bioactive molecules into ...
