A team of researchers from University of Bayreuth have used genetic modification on common house spiders to study the underrepresented organism and produce functionable spider silk protein. Scroll to ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have recently successfully bred the world’s first CRISPR-Cas9-modified spider to produce red fluorescent silk. For this work, they used a species of ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful gene editing system that has revolutionized our ability to treat disease and probe the human genome. CRISPR has been used to edit the genomes of animals, plants, and microbes ...

The possibility of editing our genes once seemed more like science fiction than reality. Times have changed with the ...

successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders produced red fluorescent silk. The findings of the study have been published in ...

"Gene drive means biased inheritance," Scott said. Researchers used a fluorescent red protein to mark the presence of the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic change to the fly's genetic blueprint, or genome.
