One of the most revolutionary tools in cutting-edge medicine is a molecular scalpel so precise that it can modify defective DNA and fix genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia, and chronic disorders ...

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

On June 28, 2012, the most significant scientific breakthrough of the first quarter of the 21st century was announced to the ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

Scientists at City University of Hong Kong have cracked the code to identify ‘passwords’ needed to unlock the full potential ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

CRISPR is already known for its power as a gene-editing tool that could one day transform how we fight cancer and other life-threatening diseases. But CRISPR's potential is broader than that — and a ...

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they’d stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could ...

In May, a historic moment in science and medicine was captured in a single photo that circulated across news outlets ...

How can we grow enough food without destroying our planet in the process? Physical chemist Brad Ringeisen believes CRISPR may hold the key—by helping to develop climate-resilient crops. Brad Ringeisen ...
