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

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.

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

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 ...

Bioengineering professor and The Grainger College of Engineering's Dean, Rashid Bashir, led a team of researchers in a project that's resulted in new technology that offers rapid, highly sensitive ...

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 ...

Musunuru, meanwhile, is using his position within academia to tackle those bespoke, n-of-1 CRISPR-based therapies that industry is now wary of taking on. This darker period for gene therapies ...

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 ...

CRISPR, an acronym for "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats," is a gene editing technology that allows scientists to precisely modify DNA. For the PJP diagnostic test ...
