Over the past two decades, synthetic biology has fueled advancements across a broad range of disciplines, including agriculture, bioremediation, biofuel production, and chemical manufacturing. Today, ...

A company’s plan to edit the genomes of human embryos worries some researchers — but it might reflect the changing attitudes towards the controversial approach.

Bioengineers have repurposed a 'non-working' CRISPR system to make a smaller version of the genome engineering tool. Its diminutive size should make it easier to deliver into human cells, tissues and ...

In this interview, News Medical speaks to Assistant Professor Ryan Jackson about his latest work, published in tandem Nature papers, detailing the discovery of a new CRISPR immune system. Please can ...

The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system has revolutionized biomedical research, and has now even been used in the clinic is some rare instances. CRISPR originated in bacteria as a kind of immune defense ...

A new technique has been added to the CRISPR gene-editing toolbox. Known as PASTE, the system uses virus enzymes to “drag-and-drop” large sections of DNA into a genome, which could help treat a range ...

“The PTAB decision means that a number of U.C.’s patents that are directed to using the CRISPR-Cas9 system in eukaryotic cells, could be rendered invalid…. In the event [they are found] invalid, U.C.

A hospitalized patient triggers a major setback for Intellia's $1.9B flagship drug, shaking investor faith overnight ...

Pairwise has licensed its Fulcrum® gene editing platform to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), a non-profit agricultural research organization. The agreement will enable IRRI to apply ...

It's been about seven years since researchers used the CRISPER gene-editing system to reverse a blindness-inducing condition called retinitis pigmentosa in stem cells outside the body. Now, using a ...

A compact and efficient CRISPR-Cas system, named CasMINI, could be broadly useful for cell-engineering and gene-therapy applications because it is easier to deliver into cells. The findings appear in ...
