The goal of genome editing technology is to develop strategies for the correction of those mutations that are responsible of ...

‘Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because ...

At meeting on human embryo editing, CRISPR pioneer says science is a long way from knowing if germline DNA can be safely ...

Gene editing is an advanced medical technique within gene therapy that involves precisely modifying an individual’s DNA to treat or prevent diseases.

An R75W mutation in the gap junction β2 (GJB2) gene causes severe fragmentation of gap junction plaques, connecting adjacent ...

James and others say that editing mosquitoes with CRISPR—and using a gene drive to make those changes permanent—offers a far better approach. Scientists used conventional genetic engineering ...

After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA. However, CRISPR has also been adapted to do other things too, such as turning genes on or off without ...

In episode one of this podcast, you’ll hear a group of experts discussing base editing and how the technology is helping ...

Dr. Richard P. Lifton, president of Rockefeller University and head of its Laboratory of Human Genetics and Genomics, said the sort of gene editing Beam did, rewriting genes with an infusion ...
