The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

If successful, the genetic modification developed by the Transmission Zero team could provide a long-term solution by ensuring that future generations of mosquitos are incapable of transmitting ...

Discover how CRISPR-Cas9 technology is revolutionizing spider silk production with red fluorescent fibers and advancing genetic research.

Working on a remote island, scientists think they can use genetic engineering to block a malaria-carrying species of mosquito from spreading the disease — and do it in just a few months. But ...

"The technique could allow farmers to enhance plant performance, resilience and nutritional value without permanent genetic modification," a university spokesman said.
