Hundreds of millions of people rely on insulin for survival, but shortages can impact prices — along with people’s health. Now, a new study proposes using transgenic cows to create human insulin in ...

Here we describe a strategy for engineering transgenic plants with broad-spectrum resistance to bacterial and fungal phytopathogens. We expressed a synthetic gene encoding a N terminus-modified, ...

Transgenic zebrafish, or zebra danio (Danio rerio), have been bioengineered into a patented and trademarked brand of genetically modified (GM) fluorescent fish and marketed as “GloFish”. (Credit: ...

In a recent study published in the Biotechnology Journal, a team of researchers from Brazil constructed a lentivirus vector with expression specific for mammary glands and carrying the gene for human ...

In his first Congressional address of his second term, Donald Trump mistakenly referred to 'transgenic mice' as 'transgender mice' while criticizing the Biden administration's spending on genetic ...

A genetically modified cow has produced milk containing human insulin, according to a new study. The proof-of-concept achievement could be scaled up to, eventually, produce enough insulin to ensure ...

Maize is one of the world's most widely grown crops and is essential to global food security. But like other plants, its growth and productivity can be limited by the slow activity of Rubisco, the ...

The University of Georgia has been at the forefront of research utilizing transgenic mice. These genetically modified mice are valuable in studying human diseases due to their genetic similarity to ...

Following U.S. President Donald Trump's address to Congress on Mar. 4, 2025, a rumor circulated online that he misspoke when he said the government used taxpayer money to fund research on "making mice ...

The transgenic papaya 'SunUp' was developed in the 1990s and was widely publicized because of its ability to resist the papaya ringspot virus. A new study has now identified the genomic changes ...
