Researchers have been able to manipulate large chunks of genetic code for almost 50 years. But it is only within the past decade that they have been able to do it with exquisite precision – adding, ...

Genome editing with various CRISPR-Cas molecule complexes has progressed rapidly in recent years. Hundreds of labs around the world are now working to put these tools to clinical use and are ...

Update: On 8 December, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the CRISPR–Cas 9 therapy for sickle cell disease described in this story. Less than a month after the world’s first approval of a ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...

A new technique brings CRISPR-mediated gene editing together with spatial transcriptomics and imaging to study the ...

CRISPR-Cas9 revolutionized biology and healthcare. It hijacks the bacterial immune defense system to precisely edit a genome. But the method isn’t perfect. It can insert unwanted DNA sequences, delete ...

Researchers at Texas A&M are pairing a widely used ingredient with advanced medical technology to develop new treatments for ...
