The U.S. military is interested in ‘super spiders’ capable of producing silk with extraordinary features. Don’t worry—it ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists created the world's first gene-edited spider, which spins webs that glow red under the right lighting conditions.

Continuing the scientific theme of adding fluorescent proteins to everything that moves, this time spiders found themselves at the pointy end of the CRISPR-Cas9 injection needle. In a study by ...

"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.

Here’s how it works. CRISPR, short for CRISPR-Cas9, is a genome-editing tool that allows scientists to precisely cut and modify DNA sequences. It has revolutionized the study of genes ...
