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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have now used a gene-drive system to suppress an important agricultural pest. Researchers have developed a "homing gene drive system" based on CRISPR/Cas9 that could be used to suppress ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 2 (January 12, 2021), pp. 1-9 (9 pages) CRISPR-Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes is an RNA-guided DNA ...

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%.
