Science and medicine are incredibly amazing. Thanks to modern science and medicine, we now have lifespans far beyond our Dark ...

Even gene drives aimed at controlling malaria-carrying mosquitoes rely on CRISPR’s precision. Among CRISPR’s many variants, the compact Type V Cas12 enzymes—key players in genome editing, diagnostics, ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR ...

Bacteria-attacking viruses, known as bacteriophages, use small RNAs to disarm the CRISPR-Cas immune systems of bacteria. This discovery has now been documented by researchers at the University of ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Yanli from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the ...

CRISPR-Cas, the bacterial and archaeal adaptive immunity systems, encompass a complex machinery that integrates fragments of foreign nucleic acids, mostly from mobile genetic elements (MGE), into ...

CHICAGO, IL—A novel CRISPR/Cas-9-based gene-editing technique seems to safely diminish the production of a protein linked to worsening outcomes in patients with transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis ...

Gene editing in plants remains challenging, with the traditional non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) repair pathway often ...

Scientists introduced CRISPR to the world as a gene-editing tool in summer 2012, when landmark papers from two independent groups demonstrated how the system could be wielded to make cuts in DNA. Now, ...
