Precision BioSciences is a clinical-stage gene-editing company focused on the development of cell and gene therapies to treat cancer and genetic causes of disease. The company’s pipeline of ...

Gene editing is at the centre of the next generation of biotechnology. By changing the messages encoded within DNA sequences, it creates new possibilities for researchers to unravel questions ...

For the world, it means better food security. It all starts on the farm and I’m excited about what gene-editing will help me accomplish here on the plains of Saskatchewan, where we’re ...

The Gene Editing & Screening Core Facility (GES Core) brings together complementary technologies aimed at interrogating cancer biology and identifying molecular vulnerabilities of cancer cells. The ...

After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA. However, CRISPR has also been adapted to do other things too, such as turning genes on or off without ...

James and others say that editing mosquitoes with CRISPR—and using a gene drive to make those changes permanent—offers a far better approach. Scientists used conventional genetic engineering ...

No babies have been born with changes made by CRISPR/Cas9 or any other gene-editing technology. But it could be only a matter of time. “I would not be surprised if there were a CRISPR-modified ...

The committee was set up in response. Most countries have regulations in place preventing babies being born after gene-editing, but the incident led to calls for strong international consensus.

Only three molecular changes are needed for fruit flies to digest milkweed toxins Gene-edited fruit flies have gained some of monarch butterflies’ superpowers — specifically, the ability to ...

The researchers used a hi-tech gene editing tool to knock out a male fertility gene in animal embryos. The animals were born sterile, but began producing sperm after an injection of sperm ...

He says the study provides valuable insights for the development of gene-editing therapies for chronic granulomatous disease and other inherited disorders. "However, further technological advances ...
