Virgin birth at Cambridge thanks to genetically modified fruit flies
Posted by ArielTechGeek 594 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
By decoding a genetic process responsible for asexual reproduction, researchers induced virgin births for the first time in a normally sexual fruit fly species. It was then discovered that the remarkable trait was passed down to all of the flies' daughters. The finding could help scientists find new ways to protect crops from insect pests that are increasingly able to reproduce without mates.Cont

Now, researchers have used genome editing technology to develop a chicken egg that may be safe for allergy sufferers to eat.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Genome, Genetic engineering, Allergies, University of Hiroshima
Genetically modified bananas out to stop Cavendish catastrophe
Posted by ArielTechGeek 668 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
It’s been more than 50 years since the lethal soil-borne Fusarium fungal species all but wiped out the dominant Gros Michel banana across the globe. Now, though, the tropical race 4 (TR4) strain of the fungus threatens to repeat history, potentially killing off the world’s most popular and widespread variety, the Cavendish, and with it a US$20 billion banana industry.Continue ReadingCategory: Bio
