Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...
Medical anthropologist and bioethicist Julia Brown says scientists and nonscientists need to talk about whether and how we should use CRISPR to edit the fetal genome. When you purchase through links ...
Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...
A new CRISPR-based one-off procedure that lowers "bad" cholesterol has been approved to enter Phase I human trial. If ...
With the power to rewrite the genetic code underlying countless diseases, CRISPR holds immense promise to revolutionize medicine. But until scientists can deliver its gene-editing machinery safely and ...
A RIPE team used CRISPR/Cas9 to increase gene expression in rice by changing its upstream regulatory DNA. While other studies have used the technology to knock out or decrease the expression of genes, ...
Against this backdrop, a team led by Professor Zhang Han and Associate Professor Chen Zhi from Shenzhen University in China , has demonstrated an innovative approach that combines DNA origami, CRISPR ...
