The Food and Drug Administration has approved the world’s first medicine based on CRISPR gene-editing technology, a ...

The recent wave of layoffs and financial troubles at CRISPR-focused startups should not tarnish the promise of CRISPR.

The original CRISPR system works by recognizing a specific sequence of DNA and then cutting that portion of the DNA strand, effectively turning off the gene permanently. Unfortunately, this ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

Colossal Biosciences said it used ancient DNA from the extinct species to create three dire wolf pups named Romulus, Remus ...

Learning objectives: 1. Comprehend how CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene drive works 2. Learn how and why CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene drive fails ...

RAPID-CRISPR test quickly and accurately diagnoses acute promyelocytic leukemia, a rare and aggressive blood cancer, with ...

CRISPR looked like an ideal way to engineer a T cell. It’s a simple process, with minimal off-target effects, and works on a wide range of cell types. But there’s one area where CRISPR has ...

This illustration provides an explanation of the process of using CRISPR gene-editing technology to investigate the key gene that determines butterfly wing patterns. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

So, how does CRISPR work, and what are the implications of such robust technology? CRISPR is a natural process found initially in E coli bacteria. Recent developments have revealed several ...

Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research of the Institute for Basic Science and chair professor at the ...

3 This phenomenon may pose a challenge to those working on CRISPR-based HIV treatments. Even if CRISPR works in 100 percent of T cells, you would still have a good number of cells where the [plasmids] ...
