Agri-Food Coalition Urges Swift EU Adoption of New Genomic Technique Regulations |
|
|
|
A coalition of 31 European agri-food value chain organizations has issued a joint statement calling for the swift adoption of the New Genomic Techniques (NGT) regulation without further amendments. The group, representing plant breeders, farmers, food processors, and traders, emphasizes that a science-based and predictable regulatory framework is critical for the future of the European agri-food sector. They argue that NGTs are essential tools for developing crops that are more resilient to climate change, pests, and diseases, thereby ensuring long-term food security and sustainability across the continent.

New CRISPR Tool Identifies Multiple Viruses in a Single Test |
|
|
|
A research team led by Professor Sung-min Son of Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) and the Gladstone Institutes, has developed a new CRISPR-based diagnostic tool that can detect and distinguish multiple viruses in a single test by analyzing how quickly gene editing proteins react. The study introduces a method that uses reaction speed as a unique signal to identify different viruses, including COVID-19 and influenza.
