(Nanowerk News) Targeted editing of genetic information has advanced at an extraordinary pace in recent years. Tools such as the CRISPR-Cas9 “gene scissors” and base editing—a technique that makes ...
Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.
Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...
CRISPR–Cas9-based therapies are widely investigated for their clinical applications. However, there are limitations ...
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.
Scientists have discovered a new CRISPR mechanism with precise activity, expanding the potential applications of the existing CRISPR toolbox.
A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...
Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most ...
