The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system is a bacterial defense mechanism that uses RNA-guided enzymes to cut specific sequences ...

With the first medical therapy approved and systems like CRISPR-Cas showing up in complex cells, there’s a lot happening in the genome editing field. By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published Jan 26, ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

The CRISPR “gene scissors” have become an important basis for genome-editing technologies in many fields, ranging from biology and medicine to agriculture and industry. A team from the Helmholtz ...

CRISPR’s promise of curing diseases hit a setback when researchers discovered that AZD7648, a molecule designed to improve precision, also caused catastrophic hidden damage to DNA. Instead of perfect ...

Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

The rapid spread of animal diseases and pathogen evolution have long posed significant threats to the healthy development of ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...
