"Lift-CM is faster and easier to use than traditional CRISPR methods," said Dr. Zhu Cancan, a team member. "It's great for accurately detecting viruses like influenza and Ebola." The entire ...

Winston Yan’s graduate school project involved using a variant of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system to knock down a gene that regulates cholesterol in mice. “The real goal was to eventually pave ...

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 ...
