Traditional breeding and genetic modification methods have struggled to keep pace with the rapid evolution of plant viruses.

Type V and VI CRISPR/Cas systems have emerged as promising cutting-edge diagnostic tools for nucleic acid detection. Nevertheless, the challenge of low target concentrations necessitates ...

CRISPR has revolutionized science. AI is now taking the gene editor to the next level. Despite its real-world impact, CRISPR isn’t perfect. The tool snips both strands of DNA, which can cause ...

The microbes that make up an organism’s microbiome have a range of effects on its health. Scientists use CRISPR systems to genetically manipulate specific bacterial species, for instance those found ...

St. Jude researchers advance CASTs, enhancing precision and activity for next-generation genome-editing therapies.

CRISPR has a problem: an embarrassment of riches. Ever since the gene editing system rocketed to fame, scientists have been looking for variants with better precision and accuracy. One search method ...

When the genome-editing tool CRISPR is thought of as a potential medicine, the targets that first come to mind are diseases like sickle cell or other conditions caused by particular mutations. Use ...

In a quiet lab in Bayreuth, Germany, a team of researchers has achieved what has long eluded geneticists: modifying the genome of a spider to create a living organism capable of producing fluorescent ...
