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 ...
Humans have selectively bred animals and crops since the beginning of agriculture, but advances in biotechnology have provided genetic tools to select specific traits. First applied to animals in the ...
For the first time and with the help of CRISPR technology: A new large-scale genetic modification method makes it possible to reveal the role and properties of duplicated genes in plants The ...
Research into genetic variation and wool traits in sheep and goats has revealed critical insights into the structural composition and quality of animal fibres. Studies have focused on ...
Extensive genetic variation underpinning phenotypic traits exists in natural plant populations, and this is intimately connected to the process of evolutionary adaptation. Importantly, such genetic ...
Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...
The gene editing program CRISPR has become a hot topic in recent years, but I am torn between whether or not I support the modification of the unborn; in one sense, the practice seems beneficial, but ...
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...
