The brain is often referred to as a "black box"—one that's difficult to peer inside and determine what's happening at any given moment. This is part of the reason why it's difficult to understand the ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

A team of researchers led by Professor Akitsu Hotta (Department of Clinical Application) developed a comprehensive framework ...

The CRISPR-Cas approach is a biotechnological technique that provides a fast mechanism to manipulate single genes in cells. Through this process genes can be precisely deleted, replaced or modified.

Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...

If genetic editing wasn't crazy enough for your reality, a recent breakthrough in CRISPR(Opens in a new window) technology has paved the way for editing entire gene networks in a single step. While ...

Researchers from Kyoto University demonstrate how a dual CRISPR RNA method restored dystrophin protein function in induced pluripotent stem cells derived from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) ...

Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 "gene scissors" is a powerful tool for biological discovery and for identifying novel drug targets. In pooled CRISPR screens, a large number of cells are edited ...

Discover the top CRISPR companies driving innovation in gene editing, from biotech pioneers to promising start-ups shaping the future of medicine and genetics.

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens our ability to prevent and treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. To better monitor the emergence and spread of resistance, ...
