Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...

Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...

A new CRISPR-based one-off procedure that lowers "bad" cholesterol has been approved to enter Phase I human trial. If ...

Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...

For the first time, the tools to rewrite human biology are moving from speculative fiction into regulated clinics and ...

A RIPE team used CRISPR/Cas9 to increase gene expression in rice by changing its upstream regulatory DNA. While other studies have used the technology to knock out or decrease the expression of genes, ...

Medical anthropologist and bioethicist Julia Brown says scientists and nonscientists need to talk about whether and how we should use CRISPR to edit the fetal genome. When you purchase through links ...

With the power to rewrite the genetic code underlying countless diseases, CRISPR holds immense promise to revolutionize medicine. But until scientists can deliver its gene-editing machinery safely and ...
