All living organisms are known to inherit genes, DNA sequences that contain instructions for producing specific proteins and ...

Scientists at a NY university say they can bring back the near extinct American chestnut tree, wiped out a century ago, ...

If you've ever seen a perfectly seedless watermelon or seed-free lemon and wondered if the fruit is genetically modified, ...

Genome editing and modification techniques are tools for sequence-specific changes in the plant genome. These techniques enable breeders to introduce single point mutations or new DNA sequences at a ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that is associated with gene silencing. Novel high-throughput techniques have begun to generate much larger scale maps of DNA methylation than were previously ...

Scientists have built a synthetic cell from scratch in a world-first breakthrough that paves the way for creating entirely artificial forms of life.

Pavan Subramani started doing molecular dynamics simulations for computational drug discovery alongside his high school coursework, sparking an interest in a STEM career.

Explore the revolutionary potential of biotechnology and gene editing, alongside crucial ethical considerations and ...

Plant growth and development are affected by several environmental and endogenous signals, coupled with its intrinsic genetic program. These processes are fundamentally mediated by several growth ...

Regulation to permit gene-edited plants has just passed in European Parliament, allowing genetic changes that don't introduce foreign DNA. The new rules aim to improve the food system by allowing gene ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...
