Scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB) have succeeded for the first time in stably and precisely inserting large gene segments into the DNA of higher plants very efficiently.

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindrome repeats (CRISPR) and Crispr-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) is now a well-known, revolutionary method to engineer microbial cells. A key ...

The brain is often referred to as a "black box"—one that's difficult to peer inside and determine what's happening at any given moment. This is part of the reason why it's difficult to understand the ...

Posts about Japanese scientists removing the extra chromosome behind Down syndrome are spreading again.

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 ...

Gene-editing techniques could soon allow researchers to replace entire genes and engineer complex cellular circuits — if the ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...

If genetic editing wasn't crazy enough for your reality, a recent breakthrough in CRISPR(Opens in a new window) technology has paved the way for editing entire gene networks in a single step. While ...

Researchers from Kyoto University demonstrate how a dual CRISPR RNA method restored dystrophin protein function in induced pluripotent stem cells derived from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) ...

CRISPRgenee is a new method that combines gene silencing and cutting to improve loss-of-function studies in human cells. (Nanowerk News) The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens our ability to prevent and treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. To better monitor the emergence and spread of resistance, ...
