Programmable epigenome editing tightens control of timing CRISPR activation is only one piece of the timing puzzle, because cell fate is governed not just by which genes are present but by how ...

Gene editing is a numbers game. For any genetic tweaks to have notable impact, a sufficient number of targeted cells need to have the disease-causing gene deleted or replaced. Despite a growing ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Peter Bendor-Samuel is founder & executive chairman of Everest Group. One of the SciTech trends I’m currently paying attention to ...

Biotechnological innovation meets horticulture as researchers unveil a cutting-edge genome editing protocol for grapes. This novel technique, integrating protoplast culture with CRISPR-Cas9, ...

The CRISPR/Cas9 system, typically abbreviated to just CRISPR, has been used to edit genomes with increasing frequency over the past few years. The name refers to specialized stretches of DNA that we ...

In the late 2010s eight macaque monkeys were born at a laboratory in Shanghai. At first they seemed much like the other infants in the colony, but differences soon became obvious. They were much more ...

Gene editing refers to the precise alteration of an organism's DNA sequence at a specific locus. In cancer treatment, this technology is leveraged to modify the genetic makeup of cancer cells, either ...
