These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...

Wheat is a globally vital food crop, yet its limited regeneration ability has long hampered genetic transformation and molecular breeding efforts. Plant regeneration—the ability to develop new organs ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we treat hundreds of genetic diseases. By fine-tuning the tiny molecular “tools ...
