Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of CRISPR advances is not only correcting single mutations in the lab but ...

The implications for biomedical research are really promising. By knowing the passwords of a CRISPR tool, GenomePAM helps fill up a rich toolbox. Unlike older methods that rely on bacteria or test ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

In a potential advance for melanoma patients, researchers at ChristianaCare's Gene Editing Institute have used CRISPR gene editing tools to disable a gene mutation often seen in aggressive forms of ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) report that they have developed a new tool (Cas13d-NCS) that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the cell ...

Watchmaker Genomics, an innovator in high-performance solutions for next-generation sequencing (NGS), today announced a non-exclusive license with Caribou Biosciences, Inc., a leading clinical-stage ...

Using a CRISPR-based genetic screen, Cellecta recently identified, for a client, a class of proteins responsible for regulating gene expression of a genetic element present in the 5′-untranslated ...

Over the past 10 years, CRISPR has been transformative for research, enabling gene editing that is fast, simple and precise, experts say. The first paper showing that CRISPR could be used to edit the ...
