Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into ...

Cas9, scientists reconstitute live African swine fever virus from synthetic genomes, accelerating vaccine development for ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

A year later came another major breakthrough, as two groups described 2, 3 a novel gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 and demonstrated its use in eukaryotic cells. These two reports helped start ...

When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to a cell along with a piece of guide RNA, the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a ...

A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet has developed a novel tool for genetic research. The study, published in ...

Learn more about the scientific background of the most common genome editing tools, and the evolving genome editing market ...

Expanding CRISPR's Potential Since its discovery, CRISPR (“Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats”), which ...

The company’s CRISPR/Cas9 is a revolutionary technology for gene editing which is the process of precisely altering specific sequences of genomic DNA. It has a portfolio of therapeutic programs ...
