A UCO team has applied the genome editing technique, which garnered a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020, to unravel the functions of two genes involved in the metabolism of beans and that could not be ...

Some species of tardigrades are highly and unusually resilient to various extreme conditions fatal to most other forms of life. The genetic basis for these exceptional abilities remains elusive.

Researchers have been able to manipulate large chunks of genetic code for almost 50 years. But it is only within the past decade that they have been able to do it with exquisite precision – adding, ...

A tardigrade receives a dose of CRISPR tools to alter one of its genes, and those of the eggs it is about to produce. Some species of tardigrades are highly and unusually resilient to various extreme ...
