Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they’d stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could ...

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.

CRISPR is already known for its power as a gene-editing tool that could one day transform how we fight cancer and other life-threatening diseases. But CRISPR's potential is broader than that — and a ...

Martin Kampmann’s work, supported by the National Institutes of Science (NIH), maps cellular “decision points” that determine ...

How does the CRISPR Down Syndrome breakthrough work to remove the extra chromosome 21? We are closer than ever to a world where a genetic condition affecting one in every 700 babies could be addressed ...

After Intellia Therapeutics paused a pair of phase 3 trials for its CRISPR therapy in response to a liver safety signal, the ...

Intellia paused both trials after receiving a report of grade 4 liver enzymes and increased total bilirubin in a patient in ...
