Scientists have taken an important step toward a gene therapy that could one day turn off the extra genetic material that ...

Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens our ability to prevent and treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. To better monitor the emergence and spread of resistance, ...

The CRISPR-Cas gene-editing system has long been the focus of research as a promising tool in genome editing. However, the ...

Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...

Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 "gene scissors" is a powerful tool for biological discovery and for identifying novel drug targets. In pooled CRISPR screens, a large number of cells are edited ...

A new generation of CRISPR technology developed at UNSW Sydney offers a safer path to treating genetic diseases like sickle cell, while also proving beyond doubt that chemical tags on DNA—often ...

If genetic editing wasn't crazy enough for your reality, a recent breakthrough in CRISPR(Opens in a new window) technology has paved the way for editing entire gene networks in a single step. While ...

The CRISPR-Cas gene-editing system has long been the focus of research as a promising tool in genome editing. However, the emphasis has been on its underlying mechanisms and nucleases. In contrast, ...

With the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas technology, the DNA of living organisms can be precisely altered. Using a guide RNA that recognizes a specific DNA sequence, Cas9 protein is recruited to that ...
