In the never-ending quest to discover previously unknown CRISPR gene-editing systems, researchers have scoured microbes in everything from hot springs and peat bogs to poo and even yogurt. Now, thanks ...

The study combines a deep learning model with CRISPR screens to control the expression of human genes in different ways -- such as flicking a light switch to shut them off completely or by using a ...

CRISPR has revolutionized science. AI is now taking the gene editor to the next level. Despite its real-world impact, CRISPR isn’t perfect. The tool snips both strands of DNA, which can cause ...

Researchers at New York University (NYU), Columbia University, and the New York Genome Center have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that can predict on- and off-target activity of ...

Last year a ten-month old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively cured through the use of CRISPR gene editing technology. But the roll out of ...

The CRISPR system, which involves a Cas enzyme to cut DNA, is a powerful tool for gene editing. But the genetic scissors sometimes make changes at the wrong place, creating a major safety problem that ...

With the emergence of new genome editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, mammalian gene editing has come within the reach of the vast majority of skilled scientists. But undertaking a gene editing ...

Artificial intelligence can predict on- and off-target activity of CRISPR tools that target RNA instead of DNA, according to new research published in Nature Biotechnology. The study by researchers at ...

Since the first reported cases in 1981, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected approximately 86 million people and resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people from acquired ...
