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 ...
Researchers from the Belgian Federal Institute Sciensano, as part of the DARWIN project, have developed a proof-of-concept for next generation detection methods of genome-edited organisms. Results ...
Plants often develop communities with microorganisms in their roots, which influences plant health and development. Although the recruitment of these microbes is dictated by several factors, it is ...
Microorganisms are increasingly being engineered to manufacture valuable compounds ranging from medicines and food ingredients to biofuels and industrial chemicals. However, turning microbes into ...
Article reviewed by Tristan Long, PhD from Wilfrid Laurier University. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. These organisms are also successful models because of their ...
Why do cancers develop differently in different people—even when they are exposed to the same risk factors? An international ...
Polyploidy, the condition of carrying more than two complete chromosome sets, is a pervasive force in plant and some animal lineages, shaping genome evolution, adaptation and speciation. Polyploids ...
(Beyond Pesticides, March 17, 2026) An article in Microorganisms by researchers from the U.S., Israel, and Australia analyzes the adverse health and environmental effects of genetic engineering and ...
Bettas were likely the first fish welcomed into human homes. Now, scientists are welcoming them into the lab to learn how genes dictate their appearance and behavior. My Daughter’s First Pet—the Next ...
Genetic diversity and population structure shape the resilience, adaptability and long-term viability of aquatic organisms. Genetic diversity denotes the variety of heritable variation within and ...
