An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify ...

What are Living Modified Organisms (LMOs)? Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using modern biotechnology techniques, such as genetic engineering.

Imagine if scientists could reach back through time and recover the genetic blueprints of species that vanished thousands of years ago, then use those ancient instructions to rebuild lost traits in ...

Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

For over a decade, Vittoria Brambilla has been trying to improve crops’ quality, yields, and nutritional value. But the botany researcher at the University of Milan feared her studies might never see ...

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 ...

Grass may transfer genes from their neighbors in the same way genetically modified crops are made, a new study has revealed. Grass may transfer genes from their neighbours in the same way genetically ...

Cancer is a disease that profoundly impacts lives, often leaving individuals and families with uncertainty and fear. However, advancements in medical science now enable us to take proactive steps in ...
