How gene editing is changing the meat in our diet, from fast-growing fish to heat-tolerant cows
Do you wonder where your meat comes from? Maybe it's organic, wild harvested, or farmed. Or perhaps it was designed in a lab. Faster-growing fish, heat-tolerant cows and disease-resistant pigs are ...
Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...
Using gene editing technology, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University have, for the first time, successfully excised a segment of HIV-1 DNA - the virus responsible for ...
For farmers seeking to maximize beef production, all-male cattle could be a win: Males gain weight more efficiently than females. For scientists, successful births would add to a menagerie of ...
At a meeting of top conservation groups this week, a bioethics question took center stage: Should scientists be allowed to tinker with the genes of wild plants and animals? The tentative consensus so ...
