Genetic modification of insects is an essential and basic technique for studying developmental biology, as well as for applications such as pest control and recombinant protein production 1.

Transgenesis is a biotechnological process that involves the introduction of foreign genetic material (transgenes) into a living organism, resulting in the creation of a transgenic organism. This ...

Current techniques for making transgenic mice are cumbersome, requiring trained personnel, costly infrastructure and collection of many zygotes from mice that are then killed. We developed a ...

Transgenesis is a tale exploring the possibilities of genetic experiments going wrong and the dire consequences it brings for mankind. The world has been set on fire, hordes of genetically engineered ...

Salt tolerance is one such coveted trait. Recent research on promoting salt tolerance through transgenesis focuses on boosting salt-sequestering physiological mechanisms within species, and ...

Three-banded panther worms are an incredibly impressive marine animal. Known scientifically as the acoel worm named Hofstenia miamia, these tiny animals that grow to only 500 micrometers can perform ...

CRISPR-Cas technology has radically changed how transgenic models are created. Through CRISPR approaches, researchers have pioneered how to create complex animal models, including long cassette ...
