SAN FRANCISCO -- Roll over John Muir and tell Johnny Appleseed the news: biotechnology is coming to the forest and orchard. Scientists are planting genetically engineered trees in dozens of research ...

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure—protect the tips of chromosomes from damage.

A group of animal scientists from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has successfully engineered a breed of cows that can produce up to 20 times more milk than conventional counterparts.

(Beyond Pesticides, May 31, 2024) Among the many promises that have been made by agribusiness to farmers and consumers, the glories of crops genetically engineered (GE) to resist pests stand out. GE ...
