While CRISPR is probably the most prominent gene-editing technology, there are others, some developed before and since. And people have been developing CRISPR variants to perform more specialized ...

The CRISPR gene-editing system is a powerful tool that could revolutionize medicine and other sciences, but unfortunately it has a tendency to make edits to the wrong sections of DNA. Now, researchers ...

A new genome editing technology known as CRISPR has the potential to revolutionize the way scientists study diseases and genetics. “I think it’s a really useful tool for science, in fact it’s sort of ...

Researchers have successfully develop single-atom editing technology that maximizes drug efficacy. In pioneering drug development, the new technology that enables the easy and rapid editing of key ...

The development of gene editing tools, which enable the specific targeting and correction of mutations, hold the promise of allowing us to correct those mutations that cause genetic diseases. However, ...

Hundreds of scientists, doctors, bioethicists, patients, and others started gathering in London Monday for the Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing. The summit this week will debate and ...

The research explores how CRISPR can be used to edit RNA. A team at Montana State University published research that shows how RNA, the close chemical cousin to DNA, can be edited using CRISPRs. The ...

The practice of genetic modification is as old as humanity. For thousands of years, humans have bred crops, livestock and even pets that possess desirable traits. This selective process, which alters ...
