JMIR Publications today featured two new stories in its News and Perspectives section, highlighting a shift toward proactive, ...
CREME is a virtual laboratory that allows scientists to simulate specific decreases in gene activity. It offers a powerful new tool for identifying and understanding important parts of the genome. And ...
When it comes to solving math problems, the order of operations matters (PEMDAS, from left to right!). That appears to be the case for engineering T cells with CRISPR-Cas9, too, as new research from ...
A lab course at UB is giving undergraduate biology students hands-on experience with CRISPR, a revolutionary gene-editing technique. CRISPR allows scientists to disable or alter specific sections of ...
What’s the breakthrough?: A CRISPR-dCas9 base editing system can permanently switch off essential microbial genes without DNA cleavage, preventing survival outside controlled environments. Why it ...
Originally developed for gene editing, CRISPR-Cas systems have now become powerful molecular diagnostic tools. However, their widespread adoption in diagnostics has relied heavily on traditional ...
On Monday, scientists at UC Berkeley's Doudna Lab published research on a new system for targeting RNA sequences using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, or CRISPR, an adaptive ...
He Jiankui, the Chinese biophysicist who created the first gene-edited children, had been quiet since completing a three-year prison sentence in April, leaving many to wonder whether he had plans to ...
A systematic sweep of viral genomes has revealed a trove of potential CRISPR-based genome-editing tools. CRISPR–Cas systems are common in the microbial world of bacteria and archaea, where they often ...
