A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

Scientists have designed a slimmed-down CRISPR protein, enEbCas12a, that still packs a punch in precision editing. Its small size means it can hitch a ride in a harmless virus, delivering edits ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

Researchers have developed a novel version of a key CRISPR gene-editing protein that shows efficient editing activity and is small enough to be packaged within a non-pathogenic virus that can deliver ...

CRISPR-modified animals are even being marketed for sale as pets. “It's allowed us to consider a whole raft of projects we couldn't before,” says Bruce Whitelaw, an animal biotechnologist at the ...

A historic pandemic continues to rage, and it isn’t getting the attention it deserves given the virus’s toll. The outbreak in this case isn’t COVID-19, but a vicious iteration of the avian flu. But ...

India is close to approving a genetically edited variety of mustard, which offers better nutrition and disease resistance ...

For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this ...

During her chemistry Nobel Prize lecture in 2018, Frances Arnold said, “Today we can for all practical purposes read, write and edit any sequence of DNA, but we cannot compose it.” That isn’t true ...

Gene editing insects could help reduce reliance on pesticides—and help protect billion-dollar industries. Central California grape-grower Steve McIntyre was familiar with Pierce’s Disease. But that ...
