A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly developed form of CRISPR at UNSW Sydney points to a safer way of treating ...

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

A groundbreaking gene-editing method from UT Austin is changing the game for treating complex genetic diseases like cystic ...

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

Gene editing is a group of technologies that enable scientists to precisely alter an organism's DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or alteration of genetic material at specific ...

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few humans to treat disease. Since its invention, scientists have improved, ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

Beam Therapeutics focuses on base editing technology, which allows for precise changes at the DNA level and potentially reduces off-target effects. Base editing has the versatility to correct a wide ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.

RNA could be considered DNA’s younger sibling. From the very beginning, RNA’s milestones came later and attracted less attention than DNA’s milestones. For example, the discovery of DNA’s structure ...
