Complementary discoveries have the potential to enhance treatment options for antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers at ...

In 2019, the first CRISPR clinical trials were conducted to treat sickle cell diseases and in 2020, this treatment was ...

"This type of gene editing should also allow for the treatment of diseases whose origin is not genetic or whose origin cannot ...

The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

In 2012 American biochemist Jennifer Doudna and her collaborator, Emmanuelle Charpentier, proposed that CRISPR – a group of genes and molecules used by bacteria to recognise and destroy viral DNA – ...

After more than a decade of work, researchers have reached a major milestone in their efforts to re-engineer life in the lab, putting together the final chromosome in a synthetic yeast (Saccharomyces ...

Li’s team hunted down three essential DNA regions involved in imprinting and used CRISPR to delete those letters in one mom’s DNA. The edit wiped out the marks, essentially transforming the cell into ...

It’s a new way to create “bi-paternal” mice that can survive to adulthood—but human applications are still a long way off.

CRISPR, short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a groundbreaking gene-editing technology that ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Antibiotic resistance is a global public health crisis responsible for more than a million deaths annually. By 2050, the ...
