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 ...

It acts as a sort of molecular fumigator to battle phages and plasmids. CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of ...

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 ...

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.

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

We have established a new high-throughput screening platform named CIBER (CRISPR-assisted individually barcoded sEV-based release regulator). This system allows a single experimenter to implement ...

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 ...
