When I think about the long term, I would like embryo gene editing to be as popular as the iPhone. It's going to be affordable to most families.

The Synthetic Human Genome project aims to construct the first synthetic human chromosome, enhancing our understanding of genome biology and medical applications.

In this study, we report the generation of fertile androgenetic mice. Our findings, together with previous achievements of uni-parental reproduction in mammals, support previous speculation that genomic imprinting is the fundamental barrier to the full-term development of uni-parental mammalian embryos.

'In this study, we report the generation of fertile androgenetic mice,' the Chinese experts say in their paper, published in the journal PNAS.

Jennifer Doudna, who won the Nobel Prize in 2020 for her groundbreaking work in gene-editing, continues to be recognized, now with a supercomputer named after her at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.

Considering the wide range of possible applications, it is surprising that there have been no studies to date using CRISPR-Cas9 in spiders.

CRISPR offers more control than viral carriers do, but typically requires the cutting of DNA - raising the chances of unwanted mutations and incomplete repair.

Precision breeding is a real chance to transform how we grow crops here in England. We can turbo charge the natural breeding process our farmers have used for generations to create food that's more nutritious.
