Despite all of today’s options for optimizing the bioprocessing of fungal secondary metabolites, researchers pointed out the ...

Scientists led by a Macquarie University team have completed construction of the final chromosome in the worlds’ first synthetic yeast genome following more than a decade of work, opening new ...

Other genetic solutions are in development. Tadpole cannibalism has inspired a team at Macquarie University to engineer “Peter Pan” tadpoles, so called because the genes which allow them to grow up ...

Genetic changes have the ability to alter crop characteristics, and some crop breeding techniques take advantage of this.

Number of mutations cannot determine safety of new GM plants. Testbiotech has published a new backgrounder summarising recent research showing clear evidence that the EU Commissio ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have published results that shed new light on an old question: what causes aging at the molecular level? Their findings, published ...
