Plants are fast-tracking their own evolution by "plugging in" genetic code stolen from their neighbors, according to new research that reveals the secret to their own successful genetic engineering.

Sherry Gao, Tyler Daniel (pictured) and their coauthors developed a new tool that can simultaneously and independently edit multiple genes and regulate their expression. Influential inventions often ...

Extinction used to mean forever - but maybe not anymore. This video explores the science of de-extinction, from cloning to genetic engineering, and how scientists are working to bring vanished animals ...

Biologist Charles Darwin began crafting his theory of evolution on a trip to the Galapagos Islands, where he discovered animals had developed unique traits that varied from island to island. Nearly ...

A recent study has identified microRNA396 (miR396) as a pivotal negative regulator of shoot regeneration in tomatoes, marking a significant advancement in plant genetic engineering. This discovery ...
