A new gene-editing technique may be capable of fixing almost all disease-causing genetic defects — with fewer off-target effects. The new CRISPR gene-editing technique, described in a Nature paper published
A new comprehensive review paper published last week on 15 July in Nature plants explores how scientists can use CRISPR to enhance traditional plant breeding techniques with the goal of
The Emmanuelle Ducros affair (1) currently making waves in the French-speaking Twittersphere illustrates two new developments in the controversy that is raging in the pro-science community against the zealots of
