Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Researchers funded by the U.S. Navy have used gene-editing technology to make house spiders produce red fluorescent silk. This might seem like a quirky scientific novelty, but the breakthrough is a ...

CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...

Researchers have, for the first time ever, used CRISPR gene editing on spiders. While the genetically-modified critters lack the ability to give you spidey senses, they do spin glowing silk. In a ...

Gene editing is growing up. Ten years after Science magazine named CRISPR its 2015 “Breakthrough of the Year,” this revolutionary gene editing technology has become a workhorse of modern biology. In ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

Scientists used CRISPR to disable the NRF2 gene, restoring chemotherapy sensitivity in lung cancer cells and slowing tumor growth. The technique worked even when only a fraction of tumor cells were ...

If the first CRISPR decade was marked by a mad dash to evolve, engineer, and mine the bacterial universe for more and better genome-editing enzymes, so far the second seems to be all about three words ...

Researchers have, for the first time ever, used CRISPR gene editing on spiders. While the genetically-modified critters lack the ability to give you spidey senses, they do spin glowing silk. In a ...

Researchers at UC Berkeley’s Innovative Genomics Institute, or IGI, developed a revolutionary treatment using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology for an infant born with a rare genetic disease. After ...
