We’ve seen gene-editing in works of fiction make wonders for humans and the environment, from creating “healing factors” in humans, to transforming agriculture for greater sustainability. Genetic ...

One March morning, more than eighty years after his family first started growing oranges in DeLeon Springs, Steve Crump stood on the same land, shaking his head in frustration. The fourth-generation ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that combines biology, chemistry, engineering, and technology to develop products and processes using living organisms, cells, or their components. It ...

A recent study published in Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology analyzed the possibilities of genetically engineering cannabis to ensure consistency and targeting specifical cannabinoids. In ...
