Aug. 30, 2021 Researchers have discovered a new way to track genetically modified animals using the artificial transgenes they leave behind in the environment. The discovery provides a powerful new tool to locate ...
Feb. 6, 2024 Researchers have developed a new biocontainment method for limiting the escape of genetically engineered organisms used in industrial ...
Aug. 23, 2022 Labels alerting customers that products contain ingredients from genetically engineered plants may reduce sales, at least in the short term, according to agricultural ...
Mar. 15, 2023 In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral infections while also minimizing the ...
Sep. 14, 2023 Researchers have genetically engineered a marine microorganism to break down plastic in salt water. Specifically, the modified organism can break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a plastic used ...
Dec. 6, 2022 For the first cell to develop into an entire organism, genes, RNA molecules and proteins have to work together in a complex way. At first, this process is indirectly controlled by the mother. At a ...
Mar. 31, 2022 To test if a single gene could affect an entire ecosystem, a research team conducted a lab experiment with a plant and its associated ecosystem of insects. They found that plants with a mutation at a ...
May 10, 2021 How is it possible to move in the desired direction without a brain or nervous system? Single-celled organisms apparently manage this feat without any problems: for example, they can swim towards ...
June 23, 2021 A rare genetic defect that affects the so-called ALG2 gene can cause serious metabolic diseases in humans. Until now, its rareness and complexity made it difficult to study this congenital ...
May 27, 2022 An animal's ability to adapt to its environment is clearly key to its survival, but does that ability come at a physiological cost? A clever experiment comparing laboratory zebrafish with their ...
