Here, we walk you through everything you need to know about CRISPR-Cas9, including what it is, how it works, and what we can expect from it in the future. CRISPR-Cas9 is a new technology for ...

We’re talking about an unproven gene-editing technique called CRISPR-Cas9. It sounds like science fiction – until you learn that investors like Google and Bill Gates have contributed millions ...

The leftover DNA is like a fingerprint, stored in the CRISPR database. If invaded again, the bacteria produce an enzyme called Cas9 that acts like a fingerprint scanner. Cas9 uses the CRISPR ...

UC San Francisco researchers have discovered a way to switch off the widely used CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing system using newly identified anti-CRISPR proteins that are produced by bacterial viruses. The ...

A new paper points to a previously unknown hurdle for scientists racing to develop therapies using the revolutionary genome-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9: the human immune system. In a study posted ...

For a decade, leading academic institutes and their associated companies fought a bruising, headline-grabbing fight over who held patent rights to CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary genome editing tool.

In the press release, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences claims that Doudna and Charpentier "discovered the Crispr/Cas9 genetic scissors." Besides being a clumsy phrase, that statement isn't ...

A new twist on gene editing makes the CRISPR/Cas9 molecular scissors act as a highlighter for the genetic instruction book. Such highlighting helps turn on specific genes. Using the new tool ...

Scientists have discovered that CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing can cause greater genetic damage in cells than was previously thought. This has safety implications for future gene therapies using CRISPR ...

Today, CRISPR/Cas9 is successfully adapted for genome editing of various organisms, offering a revolutionary technique for researchers around the world. It offers a number of advantages over other ...
