AI-powered precision farming systems, smart insect traps for pest control and nutrient-enhanced crops were some of the projects showcased at the second CALS Innovation Day, hosted by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’ Research and...

Researchers identified several families of "jumping genes," or transposons, in cyanobacteria and Streptomyces that can find and insert themselves at the telomere, with benefits for the transposon and their bacterial host.

Eventually, these findings could lead to a reliable CRISPR-Cas system that allows scientists to insert larger cargoes of genetic information into cells with more precision than current techniques allow, with far-reaching implications for...
