Hybrigenics will provide expert protein interactions services to an American multinational life sciences company under a 3-year agreement.

Scientists have genetically engineered several biofortified food plants to tackle a scourge of developing countries—micronutrient malnutrition. The crops have yet to be planted on a wide scale, but that may be about to change.

The genome is completed in Illumina’s CLIA-certified and CAP accredited laboratory using the Genome Analyzer technology.

Researchers achieve pregnancies in non human primates with donor eggs' mitochondria.

The test specifically detects the H275Y mutation of the neuraminidase gene, which has been shown to cause resistance to Tamiflu.

Drawing on the power of DNA sequencing, National Institutes of Health researchers have identified a new group of genetic mutations involved in the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma. This discovery is particularly encouraging because some of the mutations, which were found in nearly one-fifth of melanoma cases, reside in a gene already targeted by a drug approved for certain types of breast cancer.

Researchers used DNA sequencing to identify a new group of genetic mutations involved in the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma.

The Global Harvest Initiative announces the launch of a campaign to heighten awareness of the increasing gap between the world's agricultural production capacity and what will be required to meet the needs of a growing population. Based on projections from the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, agriculture will need to double output by 2050.

Genetically modified (GM) rice, which proponents say is more resistant to pests and more satisfying to taste buds, may be edging toward the market in China. Government officials said Monday final approval to sell GM rice is close.

Scientists at the University of Virginia have identified a gene in cowpea that confers resistance to witchweed attack
