Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna, who co-invented CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology, joined President Christina Paxson P’19 for a virtual conversation on CRISPR’s wide-ranging applications and ...

The CRISPR–Cas system forms the basis of therapeutic gene editing, whereby a guide RNA directs a DNA-cutting enzyme to a targeted gene — usually a mutated one that produces a disease-causing protein.

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 ...

In the late 2010s eight macaque monkeys were born at a laboratory in Shanghai. At first they seemed much like the other infants in the colony, but differences soon became obvious. They were much more ...

**ECCMID has now changed its name to ESCMID Global, please credit ESCMID Global Congress (formerly ECCMID, Barcelona, Spain, 27-30 April) in all future stories** Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is ...

Benson Hill’s world-class scientists discover new mechanism for CRISPR technology that detects RNA ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A groundbreaking research study by a team that included scientists from ...

CRISPR excites ambition. Just consider a few CRISPR applications: gene drives (showing promise as a way to prevent malaria); ex vivo and in vivo gene therapies (entering clinical trials); and ...

Over the last decade, RNAi-based loss-of-function screens have proven to be an effective tool to identify essential genes and critical genetic drivers for a host of responses as well as potential drug ...
