Scientists at CRISPR Therapeutics have compared three commonly used methods to detect off-target gene editing activity of the CRISPR-Cas9 machinery and found them to be equally adept, although each ...

Genome editing that enables targeted genome modification in various organisms is revolutionizing biology. Genome editing is carried out using sequence-specific nucleases, including zinc-finger ...

In a recent study published in the Microorganisms journal, researchers in China reviewed the uses of bacterial-artificial-chromosome (BAC)-based genome editing techniques in herpesvirus research.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin now have developed an improved method of gene editing that is precise, more efficient than other similar methods and can correct many disease-causing ...

A recently patented genome editing tool called PASTE holds genuine promise for expanding the universe of treatable genetic diseases. The approach combines elements of CRISPR and prime editing with a ...

Functionally relevant changes to cellular genetic code were first observed by exposing cells to radiation or genotoxic chemicals to introduce random mutations. It was later shown that precise genome ...

Those words, included on uncharted territory of a globe made in the 16th century, underscore how people have historically associated danger with the unknown. This fear also often manifests itself with ...

Advanced biotechnology repurposes two bacterial immune systems to correct large stretches of DNA. Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark ...

The gene-editing method CRISPR has transformed biology, giving scientists the ability to modify genes to treat or prevent genetic diseases by correcting dangerous mutations and to create a host of new ...

At first glance, CRISPR gene editing looks like the solution to all the world's ills: it could treat or even cure diseases, improve birth rates and otherwise fix genetic conditions that previously ...

A Provo-based streaming service has filed a federal lawsuit against several major film studios in federal court, asking the judge for a declaration that its methods of filtering objectionable content ...
