A new study shows that neurons repair CRISPR-Cas9 cuts in unique, highly predictable ways, unlike dividing cells. Researchers ...

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few ...

University of California, Berkeley, researchers have made a major improvement in CRISPR-Cas9 technology that achieves an unprecedented success rate of 60 percent when replacing a short stretch of DNA ...

CRISPR was one of the most influential breakthroughs of the last decade, but it's still imperfect. While the gene editing tool is already helping people with genetic ailments, scientists are also ...

This includes the labeling of the dCas9 protein, engineering of sgRNA, and the use of dCas9 orthologs from different bacterial species. CRISPR, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic ...

The real revolution came in 2012, when researchers Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier harnessed CRISPR, a natural bacterial defense system. In bacteria, CRISPR cuts out invading viruses’ DNA ...

CRISPR/Cas9 works by having CRISPR (pieces of DNA sequences) guide Cas9 (an enzyme that can cut and edit DNA) to edit, alter, or repair genes. The company has leveraged its expertise in CRISPR/Cas9 ...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the gene therapy Casgevy in December, which uses CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology to treat sickle-cell disease (SCD) in patients twelve years and ...

Scientists introduced CRISPR to the world as a gene-editing tool in summer 2012, when landmark papers from two independent groups demonstrated how the system could be wielded to make cuts in DNA. Now, ...
