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 ...
Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...
Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...
FOR 20 YEARS Tamani Harris lived a life of pain. She was born with sickle-cell disease. Her red blood cells, made flat and stiff by a mutant version of haemoglobin, struggled to move smoothly through ...
CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) just announced that its SyNTase gene editing technology will be featured in an oral presentation at the ESGCT 2025 Congress. This marks the first major public unveiling 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 ...
Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit.
