Genetic Code of Pigs Altered to Tackle Deadly Virus |
 Using advanced genetic techniques, researchers at The Roslin Institute of the University of Edinburgh have produced pigs that are potentially resilient to African Swine Fever, a highly contagious disease. The new pigs carry a gene usually found in warthogs and bush pigs. When farmed pigs are infected, they quickly become ill and die, whereas warthogs and bush pigs do not show symptoms when infected.

New Genetic Advancements in Wheat Aimed Towards Enhancing Yield |
 Researchers from Texas A&M AgriLife Research Dr. Shuyu Liu are about to close the knowledge gap on the location of key traits in the wheat genome and how to access them. The study included three wheat populations from two popular AgriLife Research cultivars, TAM 111 and TAM 112, and other diverse wheat crops.
