When you hear the word biotechnology, what is the first thought to come to your mind? Vaccines? RT-PCR? Or GMOs? The first two topics have gained widespread attention during COVID-19. In this article, let’s talk a little more about genetically modified organisms (or GMOs in short). Genetica...

GMO crops are plants that have been genetically engineered to possess desirable traits such as resistance to pests, herbicides, and extreme weather conditions. This genetic modification is achieved by inserting specific genes into the plant’s DNA, which alters its genetic makeup. This alterati...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field that has become increasingly important in agriculture, especially in the creation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or biotech crops. With the increasing global population, the demand for food production is growing, and the use of AI can...

Genetically modified organisms are animals, plants or microbes whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. The definition seems straightforward, right? But how exactly is the genetic material modified? Let us dig a little deeper. Scientists first isolate the DNA, separating it f...
