Other genetic solutions are in development. Tadpole cannibalism has inspired a team at Macquarie University to engineer ...

Wildlife conservationist turned legal scholar Alex Erwin constructs the legal framework to begin to establish guidance around ...

The completion of chromosome synXVI allows scientists to explore new possibilities in metabolic engineering and strain ...

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

Scientists have developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy -- organisms carrying extra genome copies -- in evolution. Their findings reveal that polyploidy can stabilize ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

Influential inventions often combine existing tools in new ways. The iPhone, for instance, amalgamated the telephone, web browser and camera, among many other devices.

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

The topical interests include, but are not limited to the following areas: • Genetic engineering of lignocellulosic feedstocks for decreasing biomass recalcitrance • Novel and high-efficiency biomass ...

From genetically modified mosquitoes to clinical therapies, learn how scientists apply gene editing techniques to answer a ...

Crop genetic engineering allows for the generation of new plant varieties within a significantly shorter time frame than traditional breeding. Studies have shown that it can be used for the ...
