Gene editing is revealing how corals respond to warming waters. It could transform how we manage our reefs – The Conversation AU
New research involving CRISPR technology has furthered our understanding of corals’ gene functions. Specifically, it has revealed a mechanism underpinning how corals…
Genetic engineering has already cemented itself as an invaluable tool for studying gene functions in organisms.
Our new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, now demonstrates how gene editing can be used to pinpoint genes involved in corals ability to withstand heat stress.
A better understanding of such genes will lay the groundwork for experts to predict the natural response of coral populations to climate change. And this could guide efforts to improve coral…
