Sam Sternberg returned to Lancaster to talk about his work on what has been described as the scientific breakthrough of 2015.

Now CRISPR-Cas9 can really get to work. ... His first book, The Future of Food: How to Feed the Planet Without Destroying It, was published in 2021. Reynolds is a graduate of ...

A new twist on gene editing makes the CRISPR/Cas9 molecular scissors act as a highlighter for the genetic instruction book. Such highlighting helps turn on specific genes. Using the new tool ...

Type 2 system is somewhat unique in comparison to the other CRISPR-Cas systems, since only one Cas protein is actually needed for gene silencing – this is the Cas9 protein.

CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and Cas9: CRISPR DNA serves as a permanent record of past infections, but for bacteria to use these sequences to thwart viruses, they must convert them into DNA's cousin, RNA.

For a decade, leading academic institutes and their associated companies fought a bruising fight over who held patent rights to CRISPR-Cas9. Editas Medicine will now cash in.

With the CRISPR/Cas9 snip, BCL11A is shut off, and HbF production can resume. For patients being treated, this process involves first harvesting their bone marrow stem cells, which then get CRISPR ...
