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, ...
CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...
Scientists have revealed how Fanzor2's divergence from bacterial ancestors may make it a useful tool for future genomic engineering endeavors. A revolution in biomedicine is currently underway, driven ...
Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Now, scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a powerful new CRISPR ...
Researchers have been able to manipulate large chunks of genetic code for almost 50 years. But it is only within the past decade that they have been able to do it with exquisite precision – adding, ...
The cryogenic electron microscope structure of the A4p-activated (green) CalpL protein filament (violet) from Candidatus Cloacimonas acidaminovorans (PDB ID: 9EYJ). CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect ...
CRISPR has revolutionized science. AI is now taking the gene editor to the next level. Despite its real-world impact, CRISPR isn’t perfect. The tool snips both strands of DNA, which can cause ...
The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...
Gene editing in plants remains challenging, with the traditional non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) repair pathway often hindering precision. In this study, researchers advanced CRISPR-Cas-based gene ...
