A company’s plan to edit the genomes of human embryos worries some researchers — but it might reflect the changing attitudes towards the controversial approach.

Researchers at Duke University and North Carolina State University have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that ...

vSLENDR (viral mediated single-cell labeling of endogenous proteins by CRISPR-Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair) is a powerful new tool for both basic and translational sciences alike, capable of ...

Most current approaches rely on adding nuclear localization signal (NLS) motifs to the ends of Cas9 to facilitate nuclear entry. However, this method is inefficient, and much of the Cas9 that is ...

CRISPR/Cas9 works by having CRISPR (pieces of DNA sequences) guide Cas9 (an enzyme that can cut and edit DNA) to edit, alter, or repair genes. Intellia has leveraged its expertise in CRISPR/Cas9 gene ...

Scientists at the University of Glasgow have successfully used the first bioengineered bone marrow model to carry out vital ...

The Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing has concluded, and experts have come to a consensus that, “Heritable human genome editing remains unacceptable at this time,” according to their ...

Young adult mice with a genetic form of progressive deafness can hear again after being treated with an experimental CRISPR gene therapy that its creators hope to eventually use in humans. In an ...

Scientists study a molecular machine that moves jumping genes in DNA, paving the way for a new gene editing tool beyond CRISPR-Cas9. (Nanowerk News) More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a ...

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...

A detailed look at the predicted structure of a new CRISPR-Cas tool that promises to expand the genomic editing and manipulating abilities of the original. Researchers at Duke University and North ...
