In a new study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig analyzed the impact of more ...

Programmable CRISPR tools are turning stem cell biology into something closer to software engineering, shrinking ...

In the world of biopharmaceutical innovation, 2024 will be remembered as CRISPR’s breakout year. In the spring, five patients with sickle cell disease began treatment with Casgevy, the first ...

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the ‘dark genome’ that are responsible for controlling how cells sense and respond to the ...

To compete at iGEM, a sort of science Olympics, teens at a Georgia high school set their sights on finding a better way to detect and treat Lyme disease. Their approach uses CRISPR gene editing.

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...

Crispr Therapeutics, a leader in CRISPR/Cas9 biotechnology, recently received FDA and EMA approval for Casgevy, the first CRISPR/Cas9-based treatment for TDT and SCD. The partnership with Vertex ...

Researchers used CRISPR to change the number of chromosomes in Arabidopsis by fusing chromosome arms, reducing the genome from ten to eight chromosomes. The plants grew normally but showed reduced ...

CRISPR, the gene-editing technology which won its creators the 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, is most well-known for its ...

A RIPE team used CRISPR/Cas9 to increase gene expression in rice by changing its upstream regulatory DNA. While other studies have used the technology to knock out or decrease the expression of genes, ...
