Researchers in Lithuania present the molecular structure of a new, more-versatile CRISPR system for gene editing. Scientists have unveiled a new version of the famous gene-editing tool CRISPR ...

This system, which could eventually enable safer gene modifications, shows promise for repairing faulty genes that cause diseases. "Unlike the well-known CRISPR gene-editing system, often ...

The research team has now succeeded in using the CRISPR system to insert the missing letters in the right place. They performed the experiments in cell cultures of immune cells that had the same ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

Since insecticides are the most prevalent way of controlling crop damage from pests, their overuse has rendered pests ...

Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses ...
