A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard to uncover ancient systems with the potential to expand the genome-editing ...

Researchers have identified an ancient RNA-guided system that can target DNA, potentially expanding the genome-editing toolbox.

Bioengineering professor and The Grainger College of Engineering's Dean, Rashid Bashir, led a team of researchers in a ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is ...

For discussion questions and lesson plans, go to the RNA Lab collection on PBS LearningMedia. The standards-based NOVA RNA Lab allows users to explore the science of RNA and learn how to design ...

The Tas protein uses an RNA guide to recognize a specific target DNA sequence. A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT ...

These systems, which the researchers call TIGR (Tandem Interspaced Guide RNA) systems, use RNA to guide them to specific sites on DNA. TIGR systems can be reprogrammed to target any DNA sequence of ...
