UC Davis researchers engineered wheat that encourages soil bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-usable ...

To compete at iGEM, a sort of science Olympics, teens at a Georgia high school set their sights on finding a better way to ...

The growing threat of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is calling upon researchers to find alternative ways to treat these infections. Cue CRISPR-Cas technology. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is ...

Scientists developed wheat that helps create its own natural fertilizer, promising cleaner and more affordable farming.

CRISPR technology, a revolutionary tool in genetic engineering, has empowered Lambert's iGEM team to tackle a significant health issue: Lyme disease, which affects nearly half a million Americans ...

Using CRISPR, an immune system bacteria use to protect themselves from viruses, scientists have harnessed the power to edit genetic information within cells. In fact, the first CRISPR-based ...

Bacteria get invaded by viruses called phages. Scientists are studying how bacteria use CRISPR to defend themselves from phages, which will inform new phage-based treatments for bacterial infections ...

Around 10 million. That’s the number of lives forecasters believe we will lose each year by 2050 as bacteria develop defenses against the drugs we use to fight infections. Tackling antibiotic ...

Scientists are genetically engineering microbes to withstand industrial conditions for biofuel production. Researchers found ...

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they’d stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could ...

Teens at a Georgia high school may have come up with a better way to detect and treat Lyme disease. They took their idea to ...
