Columbia scientists have captured the first images of a new gene editing tool that could improve upon existing CRISPR-based tools. The team developed the tool, called INTEGRATE, after discovering ...

CRISPRware is a new tool scientists can use to design the best guide RNAs to edit genes in many organisms, without the need for deep bioinformatics expertise. By making gene editing more precise and ...

DNA 'Nanoclew' Delivers CRISPR-Cas9 Gene-Editing Tool Directly Into Cells (IMAGE) ... The CRISPR-Cas9 complexes can then free themselves from the nanoclew to make their way to the nucleus.

Top image: Screenshot from this MIT video explaining CRISPR. It is a more precise way of editing the genome… As this point, you can start connecting the dots: Cas9 is an enzyme that snips DNA ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is the most widely used tool for genetic manipulation. The technology uses a repurposed enzyme to bind to DNA, allowing alterations at specified locations in a genome. Scientists have ...

Scientists in Japan have used gene-editing technology to remove the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome, at least ...

New research has found a novel target with therapeutic potential for metastatic eye melanoma—an aggressive eye cancer—with ...

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, helped to enhance crops and ...

In this study, we carry out proof-of-concept experiments and show that we can use our CRISPR-Cas9 tool to protect a series of different isolates from the uptake of an antibiotic resistance plasmid ...

One search method screens for genes related to CRISPR-Cas9 in the DNA of bacteria and other creatures. ... or image files—into a tool to hunt genes related to CRISPR. Once complete, the algorithm ...

High-resolution, time-lapsed images have shown how magnesium ions interact with the CRISPR-Cas9 enzyme while it cuts DNA, illustrating its role in chemical bond breakage and DNA cutting.
