Beginning with a brief historical overview of CRISPR, we will trace its evolution to the current state of gene engineering, highlighting its pivotal role in reshaping the landscape of molecular ...

CRISPR, researchers identified Laccase2 as essential for hardening and darkening overwintering eggs in pea aphids. Knockout ...

Learn more about CRISPR in this summary article. Avoiding CRISPR Off-Target Effects by Tweaking the Timing of Edits Double-strand DNA breaks not only open the door to unwanted, off-target editing, but ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists ...

Surviving the harsh winter months is a major challenge for many insects. One widely adopted survival strategy, especially in temperate regions, is the production of overwintering eggs with hard, ...

CRISPR is not a miracle product that can magically cure cancer. It is, however, an exceptionally powerful tool that is creating entirely new possibilities in cancer treatment.

Researchers in Lithuania present the molecular structure of a new, more-versatile CRISPR system for gene editing.

CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene-editing system that utilizes an enzyme to identify specific DNA sequences. Once the enzyme locates a matching site, it snips through the DNA strands. Ryotaro Hashizume and ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have recently successfully bred the world’s first CRISPR-Cas9-modified spider to produce red fluorescent silk. For this work, they used a species of ...

CRISPR gene-editing has improved the vision of patients with a form of blindness in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. The results give new hope to patients with the condition, and show that CRISPR could ...
