Scientists from the University of Sheffield are investigating how plants can accelerate their own evolution through a process of "natural genetic engineering." Researchers from the University of ...

The EU is considering the exclusion of gene-edited plants and animals from GM regulations, write Janet Cotter & Ricarda Steinbrecher. However gene-edited organisms clearly fall within the definition ...

Gene editing is a form of genetic modification and is the process by which the DNA sequence of an organism is modified or deleted. This is normally carried out to obtain desirable effects, such as the ...
