The perception is beginning to change. Genetically modified purple tomatoes are set to hit grocery stores for the first time: 'You're basically looking at a blueberry in tomato clothes' first appeared ...

Many plants we eat today are a result of genetic modifications that would never occur in nature. Scientists have long been altering the genes of food crops, to boost food production and to make crops ...

In the lab, researchers regularly use electricity to deposit medicine, DNA, bacteria or other substances into cells. This process is known as electroporation, and it works by creating temporary ...

A new technique developed by researchers from Macquarie University and the California Institute of Technology described in Nature Communications on 13 August could allow scientists to more simply and ...

Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently in animals. This allows them to study in a single experiment what used to require many animal experiments.

The rise of gene editing forces regulators to confront a difficult question: How to protect fair play in the age of genomic medicine.
