A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

CRISPR systems are powerful tools for genetic engineering, but they have their limitations. Now, scientists have discovered almost 200 new CRISPR systems in their native habitat of bacteria, and found ...

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of CRISPR advances is not only correcting single mutations in the lab but ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—February 4, 2022—CRISPR genome editing has served as a powerful tool for deleting or altering DNA sequences and studying the resulting effect. Now, researchers at Gladstone ...

Researchers experimenting with genetically engineered hamsters have found that the biology behind social behavior may be more complex than we thought. The team used CRISPR to block a certain ...

The CRISPR gene editing system originated in bacteria, and is part of a defense that bacterial cells use against viruses. In CRISPR gene editing, a guide RNA brings a genome-cutting enzyme (typically ...

Medical innovations typically take 17 years from the time a lightbulb goes off in a scientist's head until the first person benefits. But every once in a while, an idea is so powerful and so profound ...

CRISPR became big in 2025, bringing advances for serious Indian health risks, which will continue in the coming year ...

Microbes have long been engaged in an arms race for dominance, and they have molecular weapons and defense mechanisms. This is where the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system originated; bacteria can chop ...
