A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet has developed a novel tool for genetic research. The study, published in ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into ...

Beam Therapeutics said Monday that it used a form of CRISPR called base editing to correct, in several patients, a mutation that drives a debilitating lung condition that may affect tens of ...

CRISPR leaders came together to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Danaher-IGI Beacon for CRISPR Cures collaboration, ...

But there’s one area where CRISPR has struggled. CRISPR-Cas9 is effective at generating small mutations by creating targeted double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) breaks that are then repaired by the cell ...

Recent developments have revealed several functions for CRISPR, one of which is to fix genetic mutations. Using CRISPR, scientists can target and modify the damaged DNA sequence to restore normal ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

Yet others, called base editors, change one letter of the DNA code to another. So why do we call it CRISPR? Cas proteins are used by bacteria to destroy viral DNA. They add bits of viral DNA to ...
