GM stands for genetically modified. So, GM crops are plants grown for food whose genes have been altered using genetic engineering. In some cases, the genes of other organisms have been inserted into the genome of the crop plant to...

From the archives: journalist, environmentalist and author of Uncertain Peril: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Seeds, Claire Hope Cummings speaks out on behalf of the natural world. Cummings argues for a radical new approach to...

In this final 4-part series, Claire Hope Cummings shares her honest doubts about the fate of the earth. In referring to her book (Uncertain Peril: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Seeds), Cummings draws from other indigenous...

A team of scientists has genetically engineered pigs to be resistant to a widespread disease. Science can engineer an animal’s DNA to introduce desirable traits and get rid of negative traits or sickness. These pigs are not being raised...

Are GMOs bad for your health? Or is this fear unfounded? Support us on Patreon so we can make more videos (and get cool stuff in return) Kurzgesagt...

It’s happened. The first children genetically engineered with the powerful DNA-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 have been born to a woman in China. Their altered genes will be passed to their children, and their children’s children. Join...

GMO or genetically modified organisms are organisms with their DNA modified, usually by adding new or different DNA from another organism. GM crops are crops that have genes from bacteria. These genes allow the plants to either produce...

If we hope to one day leave Earth and explore the universe, our bodies are going to have to get a lot better at surviving the harsh conditions of space. Using synthetic biology, Lisa Nip hopes to harness special powers from microbes on...

Selective breeding is also known as artificial selection. It is the process by which humans breed plants and animals for particular genetic characteristics. We have been doing this for thousands of years - ever since we first bred food...

Alan Kapuler provides an in-depth examination of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), discussing the scientific and ethical considerations behind their use in agriculture. He emphasizes the need for transparency and comprehensive...

In the far future we may have advanced propulsion technologies like matter-antimatter engines and compact fusion drives that allow humans to travel to other stars on timescales shorter than their own lives. But what if those technologies...

Corals are important ecosystem engineers, providing habitat and nutrient recycling to tropical reefs. However, coral species' richness and abundance are in decline worldwide, due in large part to the impacts from global industrialization...

The video discusses the latest trials of genetically modified crops in the UK, which have dealt a significant blow to the GM industry. The crops are engineered to be resistant to weed killers, but these herbicides also kill off all other...

At the current rate, we'll have to grow as much food in the next 30 years as we have in all of human history. And many experts argue that to do that, we’ll have to engineer the genes of our food. But the concern surrounding whether we...

What if you could know exactly how food or medication would impact your health -- before you put it in your body? Genomics researcher Jun Wang is working to develop digital doppelgangers for real people; they start with genetic code, but...

Your belly and your brain speak to each other, says obesity researcher Mads Tang-Christensen. Offering scientific proof that obesity is a disease influenced by genetics and the environment, he introduces a molecule discovered in both the...

By 2050, the world’s population will reach nearly 10 billion, so we’ll need to produce twice as much food. New farming technologies like robot harvesters, drones, sensors, lab-grown meat, and genetically modified crops are helping...

Game wardens in California are now using DNA fingerprinting analysis to help protect illegal poaching of wildlife. There are many species, from large game to shellfish, which are being illegally caught or killed for food. Since there are...
