New Strategy To Create Genetically-modified Animals Developed
September 23, 2007 — A new strategy for genetic modification of large animals by employing a virus that transfers genetic modifications to male reproductive cells, which passes naturally to offspring has been developed. ... > full story -
Crop Engineered To Grow In Poisonous Soil
August 29, 2007 — Aluminum toxicity in acidic soils limits crop production in as much as half the world's arable land. Now, researchers have cloned a novel aluminum-tolerant gene in sorghum and expect to have ... > full story -
Clones On Task Serve Greater Good, Evolutionary Study Shows
August 20, 2007 — "Don't ever change" isn't just a romantic platitude. It's a solid evolutionary strategy. Creatures that produce scads of genetically identical offspring -- like microbes, plants or water fleas -- ... > full story -
