A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of CRISPR advances is not only correcting single mutations in the lab but ...

Innovative research into the gene-editing tool targets influenza’s ability to replicate—stopping it in its tracks.

CRISPR-COPIES has applications in synthetic biology toolkit characterization, gene therapy, and metabolic engineering. Credit: Aashutosh Boob et al. CRISPR/Cas systems have undergone tremendous ...

Researchers at Utah State University revealed new details about CRISPR immune system defenses, such as Cas12a3 systems, that ...

In the never-ending quest to discover previously unknown CRISPR gene-editing systems, researchers have scoured microbes in everything from hot springs and peat bogs to poo and even yogurt. Now, thanks ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) report that they have developed a new tool (Cas13d-NCS) that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the cell ...

Like the find-and-replace feature of a word processor, CRISPR-based engineering allows scientists to quickly and efficiently edit DNA sequences with base pair precision. Lauded as the great ...

Victoria Gray spent 34 years battling the debilitating pain of sickle cell disease. Then she volunteered to be the world's first "prototype" for a CRISPR therapy, based on technology invented at UC ...
