A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of ...

Researchers experimenting with genetically engineered hamsters have found that the biology behind social behavior may be more complex than we thought. The team used CRISPR to block a certain ...

CRISPR systems are powerful tools for genetic engineering, but they have their limitations. Now, scientists have discovered almost 200 new CRISPR systems in their native habitat of bacteria, and found ...

The CRISPR gene editing system originated in bacteria, and is part of a defense that bacterial cells use against viruses. In CRISPR gene editing, a guide RNA brings a genome-cutting enzyme (typically ...

In another advance for CRISPR technology, researchers have devised a way to edit genes in insects, including cockroaches. The technique involves editing the genomes of female adults that are carrying ...

Medical innovations typically take 17 years from the time a lightbulb goes off in a scientist's head until the first person benefits. But every once in a while, an idea is so powerful and so profound ...

CRISPR became big in 2025, bringing advances for serious Indian health risks, which will continue in the coming year ...
