Invasive species represent a $5.4 trillion global problem, with U.S. economic impact alone exceeding $500 billion annually.
Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...

How gene editing is changing the meat in our diet, from fast-growing fish to heat-tolerant cows
Do you wonder where your meat comes from? Maybe it's organic, wild harvested, or farmed. Or perhaps it was designed in a lab. Faster-growing fish, heat-tolerant cows and disease-resistant pigs are ...
A tiny genetic tweak can make pigs completely resistant to classical swine fever, a major problem for farmers around the world. The same gene edit should also make cattle and sheep resistant to ...
Why personalized gene editing, genetic resurrections and embryo scoring made our list. Earlier this week, MIT Technology Review published its annual list of Ten Breakthrough Technologies. As always, ...
UNDATED (WKRC) - A new study that examined animal species with a cancer resistance gene could provide help for human cancer research. Scientists have long been intrigued by Peto’s Paradox, which ...
Animal life began in aquatic environments more than 600 million years ago. Around 500 million years ago, during the Cambrian ...
An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify ...
Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...
