With the first medical therapy approved and systems like CRISPR-Cas showing up in complex cells, there’s a lot happening in the genome editing field. By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published Jan 26, ...

Officials at Jumpcode Genomics reported the results of a study demonstrating the ability to improve genotyping through CRISPR-Cas9-based in vitro repeat depletion, a novel method for high-throughput ...

CRISPR—Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats—is the microbial world’s answer to adaptive immunity. Bacteria don’t generate antibodies when they are invaded by a pathogen and then ...

A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. A microscopic discovery will ...

Bacteria and archaea are microorganisms that often use RNA-guided defences called CRISPR to destroy the genomes of viruses that infect them. It now emerges that viruses make RNAs that act as mimics to ...

At the end of 2023, the FDA approved Casgevy for sickle cell disease, its first approval for a therapeutic that used the genome editing tool clustered regulatory interspaced palindromic repeats ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas gene editing technology has revolutionized biological research, providing new insights and opportunities for the advancement of several industries. However, the ...

The codebreaking works like this. The GenomePAM method maps CRISPR's passwords directly in human cells. Instead of relying on artificial systems that are often limited (e.g., testing 1 to 3 sequences ...

CRISPR was one of the most influential breakthroughs of the last decade, but it's still imperfect. While the gene editing tool is already helping people with genetic ailments, scientists are also ...

With a shared purpose, we can realize the true promise of CRISPR and improve healthcare, providing hope to more patients with ...
