Conventional cereals and grains could be grown alongside gene-edited crops under amended EU rules.Credit: Joe Klamar/AFP via Getty In June, the European Union overturned its strict limits on the cultivation of gene-edited crops. The change comes in the wake of growing criticism that Europe lags behind other regions when it comes to adopting innovative plant
tRNA in vitro production Oligonucleotides containing tRNA under a T7 promoter and followed by an HDV ribozyme61 were synthesized by IDT as high-fidelity DNA microchip oligo pools from 254–275 nucleotides in length, and dsDNA was amplified in a single PCR reaction for each pool. These tRNA pools included 48 unique E. coli isoacceptor tRNAs with
