A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard ...

Recombinase efficiency increases allow Qi Biodesign to insert 20-30 kb (5 or 6 genes) at one time at one location across a variety of different crop genetics. In addition, a large team at Qi Biodesign ...

Artificial intelligence is making waves across industries, but its impact is higher in some sectors than others. Medicine and ...

Researchers have successfully used gene-editing technology to enhance the nutritional value of lettuce. The study demonstrates a significant increase in β-carotene (provitamin A), zeaxanthin, and ...

Genome editing is an exciting but still ... that can be used to edit genomes by knocking select genes in or out to specifically modify DNA sequences. ZFPs can also be engineered to make ZFP ...

Could it also give us better tomatoes, a hybrid woolly mammoth-elephant that could help save Arctic forests, and perhaps even ...

Scientists have identified genes that control tomato and eggplant size, paving the way for bigger, tastier, and more ...

The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell. After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA. However ...

The genetic duplicates, or paralogs, played a crucial role in shaping traits such as flowering time, fruit size, and shape.

When the monkeys were single-celled embryos, scientists had used CRISPR editing tools to silence, or “knock out”, a gene that ...

Some cut the DNA at that site, using an adjacent DNA ... Previously, Zhang's team had adapted bacterial CRISPR systems into gene-editing tools that have transformed modern biology.
