Gene editing has rapidly evolved into a transformative class of technologies that allow scientists to precisely insert, ...

This year, gene-editing technology was customized to fix mutations in a single patient’s genes for the first time.

A miracle baby who was treated with a pioneering gene-therapy at CHOP has reached a major milestone as he took his first ...

Today, he is learning to walk at home with his family. His first steps follow a medical first that changed the course of his ...

For decades, scientists have studied how to control DNA—the molecule that holds the instructions for all life. One of the most powerful tools to emerge from that effort was CRISPR, a system adapted ...

Researchers have used CRISPR to switch back on a gene that vanished from the human lineage roughly 20 million years ago, ...

Scientists have used CRISPR technology to bring back a long-lost gene that could be used to prevent gout and certain types of liver disease.

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 ...

Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted ...

To compete at iGEM, a sort of science Olympics, teens at a Georgia high school set their sights on finding a better way to detect and treat Lyme disease. Their approach uses CRISPR gene editing.

CRISPR technology has revolutionized biology, largely because of its simplicity compared to previous gene editing techniques. However, it still takes weeks to learn, design, perform, and analyze ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...
