When the monkeys were single-celled embryos, scientists had used CRISPR editing tools to silence, or “knock out”, a gene that ...

The plant-editing system uses mRNA to avoid the risk that foreign DNA could be left behind and create unwanted mutations Chinese scientists have developed a gene-editing system for plants that draws ...

“All you need to do is provide resistance,” he explained—by encoding antibodies generated by vaccination and then editing them into the ferrets’ DNA. Scientist Caixia Gao holds a petri ...

CRISPR is the new darling of the genetics world, because it allows you to easily edit DNA. It is far more effective than previous techniques, being both precise and relatively easy to use.

Building a gene editor took months. With CRISPR even high-schoolers can get hold of editing systems in the time it takes to order RNA sequences online and have them shipped by FedEx. In a short while ...

we now have the tools to directly change someone's DNA—this has paved the way for gene editing as a type of gene therapy. It is done using the CRISPR-Cas9 system, which was created after ...

To date, researchers have been using DNA plasmids, both naked and inside infecting bacteria ... or from the persistence of the encoded gene-editing factors, which can “continue to make mutations.” ...

Recent innovations in DNA-modifying will revolutionize the treatment of many diseases and prompt crucial discussions.

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro ...
