In this scientific opinion article, Ben Wollack examines the promises and risks of GMOs in America's agricultural and social landscapes.

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

Climate change and an accelerated population growth impose a major threat to crop production around the world. In order to ensure food availability and minimise the environmental impact associated ...

Anna and Jason Scharf in a field of canola at their farm near Amity, Ore. They and other canola growers hope restrictions on the crop will be allowed to sunset next year. Genetic engineering continues ...

Despite the regulatory and funding roadblocks, Murray and fellow researcher Elizabeth Maga continue to work on a line of genetically engineered goats, which carry a human gene that produces elevated ...

For decades, excessive, unscientific regulation has slowed innovation using molecular genetic engineering. Policymakers must awaken to the realization that regulations based on pseudoscience or ...

For more sustainability on a global level, EU legislation should be changed to allow the use of gene editing in organic farming, experts urge. For more sustainability on a global level, EU legislation ...

Human evolution has often been depicted as a process of adaptation, where natural selection and genetic changes drive species ...

Genetic engineering uses enzymes to carefully alter genetic material. This line of study has led to hardier and healthier food crops, the mass production of insulin, and novel vaccines, and it’s all ...
