CRISPR’s promise of curing diseases hit a setback when researchers discovered that AZD7648, a molecule designed to improve precision, also caused catastrophic hidden damage to DNA. Instead of perfect ...

CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...

AI‑driven protein design creates potent anti‑CRISPR inhibitors that block Cas13 activity, offering a new potential tool for safer, more controlled gene editing.

Gene editing is growing up. Ten years after Science magazine named CRISPR its 2015 “Breakthrough of the Year,” this revolutionary gene editing technology has become a workhorse of modern biology. In ...

The CRISPR/Cas system, known for gene editing, is now revolutionizing molecular diagnostics due to its high specificity and efficiency in recognizing and cleaving target sequences. Cas9, Cas12, and ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

Newly discovered weapons of bacterial self-defense take different approaches to achieving the same goal: preventing a virus from spreading through the bacterial population. Every living creature on ...

The rapid spread of animal diseases and pathogen evolution have long posed significant threats to the healthy development of ...

CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is an advanced technology developed in 2012 that can be used to edit genes. It can be used to find specific DNA sequences inside ...
