A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

In this interview, News Medical speaks to Assistant Professor Ryan Jackson about his latest work, published in tandem Nature papers, detailing the discovery of a new CRISPR immune system. Please can ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of ...

A new technique has been added to the CRISPR gene-editing toolbox. Known as PASTE, the system uses virus enzymes to “drag-and-drop” large sections of DNA into a genome, which could help treat a range ...

The emergence of advanced genome editing technologies has revolutionized research in life sciences, offering an unprecedented ...

CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology is one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of recent decades, but there’s always room for improvement. Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) ...

Another potentially game-changing discovery has come out of the lab of Feng Zhang, PhD. This time, they uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in eukaryotes. Just a few months ago, the ...

Scientists have unearthed 188 previously unknown types of CRISPR systems buried in the genomes of simple microorganisms. Best known as a powerful gene-editing tool, CRISPR actually comes from an ...

MIC-Drop allows researchers to rapidly evaluate the functions of hundreds of genes in a single experiment. Zebrafish—small, fast-growing creatures who share many of the same genes as humans—are ...
