It’s not just crops which are genetically modified, and a blue rose is the direct result of scientists genetically modifying roses to contain the blue pigment called delphinidin. The blue rose is said ...

The rise of gene-edited embryos has raised a myriad of ethical questions. It involves altering DNA to prevent disease or even to choose specific traits using a method known as CRISPR. In 2018, Chinese ...

Glow-in-the-dark mice, silk-producing goats, venomous cabbage-- these are all wacky and downright unsettling examples of what can happen when scientists tinker with DNA. They're also part of the ...

Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...

Genetic regulation of glucose homeostasis is central to the maintenance of human health and the prevention of metabolic disorders such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Recent advances in molecular ...

Researchers have developed a way to improve crop quality without needing to create special genetically modified plants. The new technique relies on a spray that introduces bioactive molecules into ...

No. We cannot know what the optimum characteristics are for life on Mars. We may think that we understand the various Martian environments, but it is certain that our knowledge is incomplete. Also, ...

Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

Genetically modified tomatoes have their characteristics changed in a bid to improve the shelf life of the product and the first such modified tomato for direct consumption was given approval in Japan ...
