Science and medicine are incredibly amazing. Thanks to modern science and medicine, we now have lifespans far beyond our Dark ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR ...

Bacteria-attacking viruses, known as bacteriophages, use small RNAs to disarm the CRISPR-Cas immune systems of bacteria. This discovery has now been documented by researchers at the University of ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Yanli from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the ...

CRISPR-Cas, the bacterial and archaeal adaptive immunity systems, encompass a complex machinery that integrates fragments of foreign nucleic acids, mostly from mobile genetic elements (MGE), into ...

Cas9, genome editing has been revolutionized by the ability to introduce targeted genetic changes with unprecedented ...

CHICAGO, IL—A novel CRISPR/Cas-9-based gene-editing technique seems to safely diminish the production of a protein linked to worsening outcomes in patients with transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis ...

Gene editing in plants remains challenging, with the traditional non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) repair pathway often ...

At the heart of every CRISPR reaction, whether naturally occurring in bacteria or harnessed by CRIPSR-Cas gene editing technology, is a strong molecular bond of a Cas protein via a guide RNA to its ...

Scientists introduced CRISPR to the world as a gene-editing tool in summer 2012, when landmark papers from two independent groups demonstrated how the system could be wielded to make cuts in DNA. Now, ...
