Programmable epigenome editing tightens control of timing CRISPR activation is only one piece of the timing puzzle, because cell fate is governed not just by which genes are present but by how ...
While CRISPR-mediated gene editing has led to powerful advances across biology, medicine, and agriculture, challenges persist in optimizing the editing efficiency of enzymes, such as the widely used ...
When the gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 rocketed to fame more than a decade ago, it transformed biotechnology. Faster, cheaper, and safer than previous methods, the tool helped scientists gain insight ...
The CRISPR/Cas9 system, typically abbreviated to just CRISPR, has been used to edit genomes with increasing frequency over the past few years. The name refers to specialized stretches of DNA that we ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Peter Bendor-Samuel is founder & executive chairman of Everest Group. One of the SciTech trends I’m currently paying attention to ...
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 ...
