Good coverage of the potential of gene editing to contribute to sustainable agriculture and highlighting the regulatory disparity between GE crops and GE animals. @appg_agscience theguardian.com/science/2024/n…

Sadly this new crop research facility at @JamesHuttonInst may not be able to deliver the benefits of more advanced and precise breeding technologies to Scotland's farmers due to @scotgov 's anti-science stance on GM and genome editing. #doublestandards farminguk.com/news/scotland-…

UK scientist urges Govt to press ahead with gene editing in farmed animals "Gene editing offers much greater potential to address previously intractable disease challenges, and to accelerate environmental improvements, such as a lower carbon footprint." scienceforsustainableagriculture.com/helensang

In Vietnam, adoption of insect resistant GM corn has increased more than six-fold from 4% of the corn area in 2015 to 26.5% in 2022, as farmers experience the benefits of reduced pesticide use and 30% higher yields. nongnghiep.vn/tri-thuc-nong-…

Farm leaders warn that Scotland risks being left behind on gene editing, leaving Scottish growers at a competitive disadvantage without access to higher yielding, more climate resilient and resource efficient crop varieties. farminguk.com/news/scotland-…

My neighbour and I have fallen into a “bring each other’s bin back in” relationship. Whoever gets there first, brings in both bins. One of the most special bonds British people can have.

Happy to share our recent #preprint on @researchsquare: Super-fast generation of all-female grass carp via transplantation of female germline stem cell into zebrafish researchsquare.com/article/rs-516…

Our paper is out in @molecology! We found that domestication and genetic origin impact gene expression at hatch in Atlantic salmon and that hybridization affects transcriptional regulation. Interestingly, life stage also changes the direction and magnitude of these differences.

🚨New 🧬 paper alert 🚨 When @LiYangzhen visited us @roslininstitute last year we worked together on imputation and QTL detection in Fugu 🐡 with a new 20K SNP array they developed. Excited to see this first paper with @robertmuk @Diego___RS published 👉🏻 authors.elsevier.com/c/1jq1vACeYJOU5
