(See our interview with Jennifer Doudna, co-inventor of CRISPR gene-editing technology.) While the Archaea were for many years often perceived as unusual and obscure organisms, existing exclusively in ...

CRISPR technology has radically transformed genetic research, and at the forefront of this transformation is CRISPR screening ...

For its fourth quarter of 2024, CRISPR booked revenue of just under $36 million. That was well under the more than $201 million the company earned in the same period of 2023. On the bottom line, ...

AIST researchers, in collaboration with JAMSTEC, Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, have succeeded in cultivating an ...

Beans are a key food at the dietary level, boasting high nutritional value and constituting the most directly consumed legume ...

Researchers have succeeded in cultivating an ultra-small bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified it as new species and genus of Minisyncoccus archaeiphilus.

Gene editing promised a revolution, but biotech layoffs, stock slumps, and industry struggles reveal a stark reality: CRISPR is hard to do profitably.

AIST researchers, in collaboration with JAMSTEC, Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, have succeeded in cultivating an ultrasmall bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified the strain ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are prokaryotic immune systems that confer resistance to foreign genetic elements such as plasmids and phages. CRISPR-Cas systems have been exploited for targeted genome editing ...

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 ...

Scientists have now developed a novel approach using an enhanced version of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 12a (Cas12a) system in mice ...

Feb. 7, 2025 — Researchers have analyzed the soft tissue from a fossilized plesiosaur for the first time. The results show that the long-necked marine reptile had both smooth and scaly skin ...
