CRISPR-Cas9 evolved in bacteria as an immune system to protect against viral infections, but in the past decade it has excited both researchers and the general public as a general-use gene editing ...

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

Almost every week there is another scientific/medical advance made using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Of course, we will continue to bring you news about all of the great ways in which CRISPR-Cas9 can be ...

The replication of potentially harmful adenoviruses can be significantly reduced in human cells in cell culture by using the so-called CRISPR-Cas9 system ("gene scissors"). This method, which is ...

Using an electric current to deliver the CRISPR/Cas9 system, in order to engineer genetic changes in laboratory mice, is highly efficient and significantly improves the system's throughput over ...

The therapeutic implications of this technology are vast; the CRISPR-Cas9 system could be used to treat genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and cancer, amongst many others.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system can be used for genome editing. Here, Liao et al. show that the system can be adapted to inhibit HIV expression and replication, excise the integrated HIV genome and provide ...

The CRISPR/Cas9 system for genome editing has been hailed as the biggest biotech breakthrough of the century. Some say it’s equivalent to discovering the structure of DNA or developing PCR.

In Casgevy, the CRISPR/Cas9 system is targeted to snip a gene encoding a protein called BCL11A, which controls other genes, aka a transcription factor.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system is based on an antiviral defense mechanism in bacteria in which the Cas9 enzyme recognizes the viral DNA sequences of previous infections and cuts up invading DNA during re- ...
