Pamela Ronald and Kan Wang will discuss how they enhance the yield and disease resistance of important crops.

Scientifically groundless regulations could undercut the potential of gene-edited crops, much as they have with GMOs.

There have been no reports of health or environmental harm in other locations where genetically modified mosquitoes have been introduced over the last decade.

The FDA recently cleared the way for marketing of the genetically modified product. Texas A&M’s Keerti Rathore speaks with The Scientist about why and how it was developed.

All six calves inherited the gene for preventing horn growth, but four also got a piece of the plasmid used to introduce the sequence to their dad—complicating regulatory approval.

The biotech Oxitec had released the genetically engineered insects with the hope that they would breed with wild populations and produce offspring that die young. But that’s not always happening.

The large-scale experiments aim to test how the technology would fare in the wild, if deployed to knock down populations of the pests.

A recent meeting about the disconnect between scientific and public beliefs points to ways researchers can improve how they communicate with skeptics.

While farmers have the green light to grow the genetically engineered plant, FDA approval is still needed before the seeds are sold as food.
