Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Tetsuya Muramoto from the Faculty of Science, Toho University, has established a ...

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this mechanism, ...

Learn editing tips and techniques to ensure a cohesive story from start to finish Whether you’re recording a science video or a personal project, these tips and techniques will ensure you're able to ...

Researchers have successfully develop single-atom editing technology that maximizes drug efficacy. In pioneering drug development, the new technology that enables the easy and rapid editing of key ...

The research explores how CRISPR can be used to edit RNA. A team at Montana State University published research that shows how RNA, the close chemical cousin to DNA, can be edited using CRISPRs. The ...

The development of gene editing tools, which enable the specific targeting and correction of mutations, hold the promise of allowing us to correct those mutations that cause genetic diseases. However, ...

While researchers have long appreciated the enormous potential of genome editing to treat disease, applications of these technologies in humans have historically been limited by safety concerns. Even ...

An optimized version of prime editing technology raises the possibility of a one-time treatment for cystic fibrosis. In their 2019 paper, Liu’s team used prime editing to alter the gene mutations ...

Editing genes involves changing the sequence of letters in the DNA. Researchers like to edit genes so they can understand the function of them, particularly genes that relate to various types of ...
