Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...
Scientists had tried to treat diseases by editing genes since the 1990s, but the methods were cumbersome and didn’t pay off. Then in June 2012, the journal Science published a paper by two future ...
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 ...

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 ...
Jimi Olaghere used to end up in the emergency room so often that the hospital reserved a bed for him. Sickle cell disease dominated his life. A genetic defect he was born with meant that instead of ...
A powerful form of DNA-editing machinery discovered in bacteria might allow us to make much bigger changes to genomes than is currently possible with CRISPR-based techniques. However, it isn’t yet ...
The FDA late last week set for December a groundbreaking decision on whether to grant its first-ever approval for a CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited therapy—but the milestone so far doesn’t seem to be wowing ...
The launch of BIRSA 101 marks a major breakthrough in CRISPR gene-editing technology, positioning India to deliver affordable ...
