Treatment for irritable bowel syndrome, IBS, often includes restricting certain foods, such as carbohydrates, but that doesn’t work for everyone. A new study has found that there might be a genetic reason for this, opening the door to personalized, genetically tailored diets to treat IBS.Continue ReadingCategory: Body & MindTags: Gastrointestinal, Irritable bowel syndrome, Genetics, Diet, Uni

"Golden Lettuce" genetically engineered to pack 30 times more vitamins
Posted by ArielTechGeek 227 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Most of us don’t eat as much fruit and veggies as we know we should, but that goal might now be a bit more achievable. Scientists in Spain have engineered a new “Golden Lettuce” with 30 times more nutrients than the regular green stuff.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Genetic engineering, Vegetables, Food, Food technology, Crops, Nutrition
Genetically engineered thornless roses pave the way for better crops
Posted by ArielTechGeek 272 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Everybody loves roses, but we'd probably love them even more if they didn't have those sharp thorns. Well, scientists have found a way of growing thornless roses, and their findings could lead to easier-to-harvest crops.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Plants, Crops, Agriculture, Roses, Genetic engineering, CRISPR
Christmas tree genetically improved for less needly mess to clean up
Posted by ArielTechGeek 512 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have taken the best genetic characteristics of the Fraser fir, arguably the most popular choice for Christmas tree, and used them to create a tree that’s taller, prettier, and – importantly – sheds only a fraction of its needles.Continue ReadingCategory: Around The Home, LifestyleTags: Christmas, Tree, Genetics, North Carolina State University
Virgin birth at Cambridge thanks to genetically modified fruit flies
Posted by ArielTechGeek 642 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
By decoding a genetic process responsible for asexual reproduction, researchers induced virgin births for the first time in a normally sexual fruit fly species. It was then discovered that the remarkable trait was passed down to all of the flies' daughters. The finding could help scientists find new ways to protect crops from insect pests that are increasingly able to reproduce without mates.Cont
Genetically modified eggs may mean the end of allergies
Posted by ArielTechGeek 714 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Egg allergies are one of the most common allergies in children and can be triggered by a wide range of food products, even vaccines. Now, researchers have used genome editing technology to develop a chicken egg that may be safe for allergy sufferers to eat.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Genome, Genetic engineering, Allergies, University of Hiroshima
Genetically modified bananas out to stop Cavendish catastrophe
Posted by ArielTechGeek 716 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
It’s been more than 50 years since the lethal soil-borne Fusarium fungal species all but wiped out the dominant Gros Michel banana across the globe. Now, though, the tropical race 4 (TR4) strain of the fungus threatens to repeat history, potentially killing off the world’s most popular and widespread variety, the Cavendish, and with it a US$20 billion banana industry.Continue ReadingCategory: Bio
Bacteria genetically engineered to seek and destroy tumors
Posted by ArielTechGeek 779 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Cancer tumors are particularly adept at evading the body’s immune response, making treatment difficult. A new study has genetically engineered a common gut bacteria, enabling it to seek out and destroy cancer tumors from the inside.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Tumor, Tumors, Gut Bacteria, Bacteria, Genetic engineering, Columbia University
Genetically altered worms glow in the presence of indoor air pollution
Posted by ArielTechGeek 818 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Although the air in our homes or workplaces may seem OK, it might contain harmful compounds emitted by materials such as particleboard and carpeting. New research suggests that we may soon be able to tell if that is the case, using tiny glowing worms.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: University of Turku, Air quality, Pollution, Volatile Organic Compounds
