Sandy Ottensmann has spent the last decade within Danaher’s life sciences and diagnostics business, having led IDT’s Gene Writing and Editing and Core/PCR Business Units since January 2023. She holds ...

Delivering genome editing machinery into plant cells remains a challenge despite the dire need for high yield crops with enhanced nutritional value that are resistant to disease and resilient in the ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...

New research had the goal of reducing the time and cost it takes to bring an improved crop to the marketplace to improve agriculture sustainability. With the goal of reducing the time and cost it ...

A research team has created gene-edited crops without using tissue culture. A team of plant biotechnologists led by Gunvant Patil at Texas Tech University (TX, USA) has developed a groundbreaking ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

A team of scientists have developed a new method that enables them to make precise edits in multiple locations within a cell -- all at once. Using molecules called retrons, they created a tool that ...

A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed two new genome editing technologies, ...

A dire wolf de-extinction debate, CRISPR-GPT for gene editing, and more topped the list of our most popular stories in genomics this year.

By Milliam Murigi As climate change, population growth, and shrinking arable land intensify pressure on Africa’s food systems, genome editing is emerging as a critical technology that could reshape ...
