Programmable CRISPR tools are turning stem cell biology into something closer to software engineering, shrinking ...

Gene editing, also known as genome editing, allows scientists to modify the DNA of organisms using biotechnological techniques. CRISPR-Cas9 is the most widely used gene editing technology, known for ...

DURHAM – A team of engineers at Duke University have developed a method to broaden the reach of CRISPR technologies. While the original CRISPR system could only target 12.5% of the human genome, the ...

(Nanowerk News) Building on the CRISPR gene-editing system, MIT researchers have designed a new tool that can snip out faulty genes and replace them with new ones, in a safer and more efficient way.

SeekRNA uses a programmable ribonucleic acid (RNA) strand that can directly identify sites for insertion in genetic sequences, simplifying the editing process and reducing errors. The new gene-editing ...

Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna, who co-invented CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology, joined President Christina Paxson P’19 for a virtual conversation on CRISPR’s wide-ranging applications and ...

At the end of 2023, the FDA approved Casgevy for sickle cell disease, its first approval for a therapeutic that used the genome editing tool clustered regulatory interspaced palindromic repeats ...

BOSTON – A team led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has overcome a major constraint for cutting and editing DNA by CRISPR-Cas enzymes and other technologies. The recent ...

In the second new research review on this subject, Assistant Prof. Ibrahim Bitar, Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Plzen, Charles University in Prague, Plzen, ...
