MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we treat hundreds of genetic diseases. By fine-tuning the tiny molecular “tools ...

Regions of the genome with repetitive sequences are difficult to selectively edit because it’s hard to control which of the repeated sections will be edited. Ribosomes, the molecular machines that ...

In the never-ending quest to discover previously unknown CRISPR gene-editing systems, researchers have scoured microbes in everything from hot springs and peat bogs to poo and even yogurt. Now, thanks ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

In the world of biotechnology, few innovations have generated as much excitement and promise as gene editing. With the advent of technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, researchers are unlocking new ...

Instead of requiring personalized gene edits for each patient, the new approach could create a standardized method to use for ...
