Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By ...

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little ...

Researchers discovered the secret checkpoints that keep CRISPR precise, revealing how the tool shifts from inactive to active without misfiring. The insight could transform gene therapy, making ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool to help scientists better plan gene-editing ...

FOR 20 YEARS Tamani Harris lived a life of pain. She was born with sickle-cell disease. Her red blood cells, made flat and stiff by a mutant version of haemoglobin, struggled to move smoothly through ...

More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, ...

Scientists study a molecular machine that moves jumping genes in DNA, paving the way for a new gene editing tool beyond ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

Researchers have found a way to amplify detection of tuberculosis in low-concentration samples, resulting in a tongue swab ...

Tulane University researchers have developed an enhanced CRISPR-based tuberculosis test that works with a simple tongue swab, a potential breakthrough ...

Horses with genomic edits to make them run faster have been banned from polo, but a zoo of CRISPR-edited animals is gaining ...
