Agricultural gene-splicing has increased crop yields, reduced the need for environmentally harmful pesticides and herbicides, and decreased food costs for consumers. New gene-spliced crops are ...

Europe’s firewall against genetic modification gets a major crack under a new deal. Crops tailor-made using new gene-splicing techniques should face fewer regulations than genetically modified ...

Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able to fill such disparate niches because molecular machinery can cut out and ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Biotechnology companies are quietly pushing to splice more human genes into food crops after the practice was nearly abandoned last year, a Washington-based advocacy group says.

While humans can escape the heat by seeking shade or shedding layers, plants remain rooted in place. So how do they survive extreme heat? It’s a question many have wondered—and now, science has an ...
