Crispr Therapeutics, a leader in CRISPR/Cas9 biotechnology, recently received FDA and EMA approval for Casgevy, the first CRISPR/Cas9-based treatment for TDT and SCD. The partnership with Vertex ...

In a groundbreaking fusion of artificial intelligence and gene editing, researchers are leveraging machine learning to enhance CRISPR technology’s precision and efficiency. This integration is opening ...

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 ...

For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this ...

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 ...

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 ...

As far back as 2015, scientists have been warning against using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to modify germline genomes. Indeed, a perspective published that year in Science suggested that otherwise ...

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, ...

An exon-skipping technique using dual single-guide RNA/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins targeted at 3 novel COL7A1 exons with pathogenic heterozygous mutations achieved exon deletion rates of up to 95%.
