Transgenesis is a tale exploring the possibilities of genetic experiments going wrong and the dire consequences it brings for mankind. The world has been set on fire, hordes of genetically engineered ...

Salt tolerance is one such coveted trait. Recent research on promoting salt tolerance through transgenesis focuses on boosting salt-sequestering physiological mechanisms within species, and ...

Targeted genomic insertion will improve the qualitative and quantitative functional comparison of similar transgenes and provide suitable integration points for transgenes of applied interest. The ...

Three-banded panther worms are an incredibly impressive marine animal. Known scientifically as the acoel worm named Hofstenia miamia, these tiny animals that grow to only 500 micrometers can perform ...

A researcher from the laboratory responsible for the first mouse-cloning experiments (Nature, 394, 369, 1998) is suing the University of Hawaii (UH) on the grounds that it licensed without his consent ...

CRISPR-Cas technology has radically changed how transgenic models are created. Through CRISPR approaches, researchers have pioneered how to create complex animal models, including long cassette ...
