Dogs can detect laurel wilt in avocado orchards Credit: iStockphoto The sensitivity of the dog nose is legendary, 10,000-100,000 times more sensitive than the human nose, and capable of detecting odour concentrations at one to two parts per trillion. So the use of dogs to detect illegal drugs, for example, is now routine, and detection of human cancers and Covid-19 seems a realistic prospect. Naturally enough, the thoughts of botanists have turned to using dogs to detect disease in plants. One example is laurel wilt, a fungal disease of avocado, which has recently become a problem in Florida�...

CRISPR gene-editing urgently needs an off-switch – now we have one Making changes to genes with CRISPR has the potential to cure diseases and feed the world, if we can learn to control it. Now it looks like viruses hold the solution Technology 13 January 2021 Pete Reynolds THERE is a technology that could tackle some of life’s most pressing problems, from disease to malnutrition. It could fix medical conditions such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anaemia simply by changing a bit of genetic code. It cou...

The UK government is exploring the use of gene editing to modify food crops because the technique can improve the nutrition of crops through tiny DNA changes

Phenomenon in these algal for example thanks to special microstructure they're very efficient photosynthesize is if the ability could be transferred to more useful plants yields could be increased enormously. experts have been tinkering with photosynthesis in the lab for decades. now new methods are extremely precise genetic modification are opening new horizons in the search for all turn it it's a fossil fuel that's providing fresh momentum for the development of clean sustainable energy source its. development is read right but only very few never do you have a science question that you've a...

>> collab rayors are working on adding expiration date to any genetic modification. if it works, science see it as a tool to stop spread of harmful viruses and diseases around the world. >> the future of civilization will be determined by technologies we invent and wisdom to which we deploy them. >> where do we go from that to this? i can't even look at the screen. newly released video, looks like a horror movie to some people that's gone viral, please know i don't want to see this and i don't know if you do, that's a mammoth sized tarantula eating a possum. there was a team doing a survey i...
