Scientists have unearthed 188 previously unknown types of CRISPR systems buried in the genomes of simple microorganisms. Best known as a powerful gene-editing tool, CRISPR actually comes from an ...
CRISPR powers everything from gene editing to rapid diagnostics, but how did one of its most versatile branches arise? A new Cell study, “Functional RNA splitting drove the evolutionary emergence of ...
Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...
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 ...
A new CRISPR screen method developed at Scripps Research has the potential to improve studies into the genetic underpinnings of human diseases and disorders. The method was outlined in Cell, in a ...
Vertex Pharmaceuticals has two clinical-stage programs for type 1 diabetes, each employing different methods for preventing the immune system from rejecting the cell therapies. For a third program in ...
Vertex is severing one of its ties to CRISPR Therapeutics. The big biotech has chosen to opt out of the diabetes gene-edited stem cell therapy it gained through the acquisition of ViaCyte, leaving ...
