Gene editing of crops and livestock may soon be permitted in England for the first time under a consultation launched by the government on Thursday.

Do you know what mean gene editing?

Gene editing involves cutting and splicing sections of DNA within a single genome to bring about changes that were previously possible only through lengthy selective breeding of plants and animals. This is a different process from genetic modification, which involves introducing DNA from one species into another, and which will continue to be subject to a near-total ban.
