Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...

Researchers have developed a novel genome editing technique known as NICER, which results in significantly fewer off-target mutations than CRISPR/Cas9 editing. The technique uses a different type of ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their collaborators at Qi Biodesign have developed a strand-specific, CRISPR-free editing system for modifying genomes in the nucleus, ...

A team of Beijing scientists has unveiled a revolutionary gene-editing tool known as CyDENT. This novel technology promises greater efficiency than the well-known CRISPR method, a significant ...

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 ...

This first-in-the-world approach harnesses autophagy to shift DNA repair toward homologous recombination, boosting precision editing efficiency up to threefold. Dr. Hye Jin Nam’s team at the Korea ...
