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 ...

Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Now, scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a powerful new CRISPR ...

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 ...

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 ...

Each green fluorescent spot represents a leaf cell in which a large gene segment was successfully inserted into the plant's genome. Different variants of Cas9 were used: an inactiv Cas9 (left), an ...

(a) Utilizing HCR and CRISPR-Cas12a double amplification technique, a highly sensitive apta-HCR-CRISPR method was devised for the detection of TEV protein. (b) A novel CRISPR-Cas12a/Cas13a approach, ...

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, ...

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 ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats — better known as CRISPR, the new genome editing tool — continues to prove its crucial role in medical advances. Scientists believe they can ...

CRISPRgenee is a new method that combines gene silencing and cutting to improve loss-of-function studies in human cells. (Nanowerk News) The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the ...
