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

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

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 ...

Latest study leverages new constructs for nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences to improve editing efficiency in human immune cells.

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

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

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

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!

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.

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] ...

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 ...
