One of the most well-known versions of the gene-editing tool CRISPR may not work in a large proportion of the population, according to recent research out of Stanford University in California. CRISPR, ...

Researchers at Duke University and North Carolina State University have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing ...

Machine learning models reveal that histone marks are predictive of gene expression across human cell types and highlight important nuances between natural control and the effects of CRISPR-Cas9-based ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.

In 2020, Jennifer Doudna, Ph.D., received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, CRISPR-Cas9, a method for genome editing. Often referred to as “molecular scissors,” CRISPR cuts DNA at specific locations that ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most ...

CRISPR–Cas9-based therapies are widely investigated for their clinical applications. However, there are limitations ...

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...
