Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into ...

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

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

Congenital hearing loss refers to impaired auditory function that occurs due to genetic causes. GJB2 is the gene responsible ...

A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet has developed a novel tool for genetic research. The study, published in ...

Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ... Dec. 13, 2024 — Microorganisms produce a wide variety of natural products that can be ...

ERS Genomics Limited ('ERS'), the CRISPR licensing company, and Jumpcode Genomics ('Jumpcode'), a life science tools company ...

To achieve this, the team focused on two key aspects of CRISPR/Cas9 vector design: the promotor to drive Cas9 expression, and the nuclear localization signals (NLS) that direct the protein to the ...

When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to a cell along with a piece of guide RNA, the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a ...

In the article, my colleague Jef Akst highlighted Doudna, Charpentier, and Zhang as the three seminal figures in the development of CRISPR/Cas9 technology: “The attendees are a veritable who’s who of ...
