In the past decade or so, biomedical technology has been revolutionized by a gene editing technique known as CRISPR, which uses a guide RNA molecule to direct a DNA-cutting enzyme to a specific ...

Unquestionably, we will emerge from this revolutionary period with modified views of components of cells and how they operate, but only, however, to await the emergence of the next revolutionary phase ...

Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St.

Find how Circularization for High-throughput Analysis of Nuclease Genome-wide Effects by Sequencing Base Editors ...

A powerful form of DNA-editing machinery discovered in bacteria might allow us to make much bigger changes to genomes than is currently possible with CRISPR-based techniques. However, it isn’t yet ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...

A team of UK-based researchers is going where no scientist has dared to go—writing artificial human DNA from scratch. They’re hoping the project will answer fundamental questions about the human ...

While researchers have long appreciated the enormous potential of genome editing to treat disease, applications of these technologies in humans have historically been limited by safety concerns. Even ...

By Milliam Murigi As climate change, population growth, and shrinking arable land intensify pressure on Africa’s food systems, genome editing is emerging as a critical technology that could reshape ...
