Cas9, scientists reconstitute live African swine fever virus from synthetic genomes, accelerating vaccine development for ...

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

This protein can easily be programmed to find and bind to almost any desired target sequence, simply by giving it a piece of RNA to guide it in its search. When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

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

What’s really exciting about gene editing is precision and speed, says Pairwise cofounder and CEO Tom Adams, PhD.

A field known as synthetic biology has become one of the most highly anticipated in science. Its outputs range from golden ...

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

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 ...
