Climate change is rapidly altering the agricultural landscape, leaving farmers scrambling to adjust. As temperatures rise, ...

CRISPR technology has revolutionised genetic engineering, offering unprecedented precision in DNA editing with vast implications for medicine, agriculture and conservation. Yet, its power demands ...

A Peninsula biotech company raised $68 million from investors — including a venture philanthropy fund started by Lululemon ...

a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, providing insights into its DNA recognition and cleavage mechanisms. The study, published in Nature Communications, was conducted by researchers from ...

CRISPR leaders came together to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Danaher-IGI Beacon for CRISPR Cures collaboration, hosted at the IGI in Berkeley.

The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell. After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA. However ...

CRISPR places an entirely new kind of power into human hands. For the first time, scientists can quickly and precisely alter, delete, and rearrange the DNA of nearly any living organism ...

2 The team next wanted to test these findings in a physiological context; they were curious to see how negative supercoiling, or under twisting of DNA that happens during normal transcription and ...

Gene editing technologies allow scientists to use enzymes -- in this case, Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) -- as a sort of molecular scissors that can precisely cut or modify portions of DNA or ...

It involves altering DNA to prevent disease or even to choose specific traits using a method known as CRISPR. In 2018, Chinese scientist He Jiankui created the first gene-edited babies ...

In the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, the Cas9 nuclease is introduced into cells and directed to the location of interest with synthetic guide RNA (gRNA), where Cas9 cleaves the two DNA strands. Off ...
