But by combining a revolutionary new technology called CRISPR-Cas9 with a natural system known as a gene drive, theory is rapidly becoming reality. CRISPR places an entirely new kind of power into ...

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...

This study achieved CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), China's most economically vital freshwater fish. Targeting the tyrb gene critical for pigmentation were ...

When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to a cell along with a piece of guide RNA, the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a ...

Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ... Dec. 13, 2024 — Microorganisms produce a wide variety of natural products that can be ...

Expanding CRISPR's Potential Since its discovery, CRISPR (“Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats”), which ...

A research team investigates how genome editing can be harnessed to accelerate cassava breeding and improve key traits.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University utilized CRISPR to cut a single gene from cancer cells of head and neck tumors—and successfully eliminated 50% of the tumors in model animals. This study was led ...

A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at ... the team began by zeroing in on a structural feature of the CRISPR Cas9 protein that binds to the enzyme's RNA guide.

Among other functions, the NK cells (natural killers, a type of lymphocyte forming part of the immune system) have the capacity to detect and eliminate cancer cells. But in some cases they cannot ...
