5 days ago · In this Q&A, Carbon Brief looks at the difference between GMOs and gene-edited foods and whether these technologies can help crops deal with climate change while boosting food security.
5 days ago · 1) Identification of a gene responsible for a desired trait (e.g. A gene coding for delayed ripening of fruits) 2) Isolation, cloning and modification of the gene. 3) Transformation: Transfer of the gene to the host plant cells. 4) Selection: Segregation of the cells that are transformed from a culture of transformed and non-transformed cells.

3 days ago · The use of genetic modification techniques and technologies to enhance or produce food and ingredients, often referred to as biotechnology, genetic engineering (GE), or “GMOs,” has often been subject to controversy and misinformation.
4 days ago · CRISPR, short palindromic repeating sequences of DNA, found in most bacterial genomes, that are interrupted by so-called spacer elements, or spacers—sequences of genetic code derived from the genomes of previously encountered bacterial pathogens. CRISPR elements are found naturally in many bacteria and archaea, where they provide a sort of ...
