Researchers have used CRISPR to switch back on a gene that vanished from the human lineage roughly 20 million years ago, reviving a natural defense against excess uric acid that our ancestors once ...

CRISPR is one of the most revolutionary technologies of the modern era, and now it's being used to bring back long-lost genes ...

Inside cells, DNA twists and coils itself into a variety of different secondary structures—including i-motifs (iMs) and ...

Gene editing, also known as genome editing, allows scientists to modify the DNA of organisms using biotechnological techniques. CRISPR-Cas9 is the most widely used gene editing technology, known for ...

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this ...

CRISPR biosensors enable real-time health monitoring with attomolar sensitivity, wearable integration, and multiplex ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

Researchers have now used a gene-drive system to suppress an important agricultural pest. Researchers have developed a "homing gene drive system" based on CRISPR/Cas9 that could be used to suppress ...
