Researchers have identified a new gene-editing system similar to CRISPR in complex organisms, demonstrating for the first time that DNA-modifying proteins exist across all kingdoms of life. Feng Zhang ...

The real revolution came in 2012, when researchers Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier harnessed CRISPR, a natural bacterial defense system. In bacteria, CRISPR cuts out invading viruses’ DNA ...

When scientists first discovered CRISPR, the possibilities for gene editing seemed endless. But challenges remain when it comes to actually translating that discovery into a therapy that works for ...

Like the find-and-replace feature of a word processor, CRISPR-based engineering allows scientists to quickly and efficiently edit DNA sequences with base pair precision. Lauded as the great ...

Clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats(CRISPR) gene editing, known for its precision, is revolutionizing tumor research and treatment. This article covers the evolution of the CRISPR ...

(a) Utilizing HCR and CRISPR-Cas12a double amplification technique, a highly sensitive apta-HCR-CRISPR method was devised for the detection of TEV protein. (b) A novel CRISPR-Cas12a/Cas13a approach, ...

The colonies of Escherichia coli sitting in this petri dish become pathogenic when they carry Shiga toxin genes. Credit: Shutterstock “We’re essentially converting a pathogenic strain into a ...

In a world-first trial, scientists used a one-off CRISPR gene edit to switch off a liver “fat brake” gene, slashing stubborn ...
