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 ...

Genome editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 have transformed biology, medicine, and agriculture, but concerns remain about ...

NEW YORK, NY (Dec. 18, 2019)--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 ...

They also found that after the extra chromosome was removed, genes tied to nervous system development were more active and ...

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 ...

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.

CRISPR-Cas12a is like a cousin to the widely used CRISPR-Cas9 system. It, too, has a programmable guide RNA (gRNA) to direct the system to the target DNA sequence so it can create double-stranded ...

Since it burst onto the scene a decade ago, CRISPR-Cas9 has shaken the field of genetics to its core with a genome editing tool that’s faster, cheaper and more accurate than previous methods.

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.
