A historic pandemic continues to rage, and it isn’t getting the attention it deserves given the virus’s toll. The outbreak in this case isn’t COVID-19, but a vicious iteration of the avian flu. But ...
CRISPR-modified animals are even being marketed for sale as pets. “It's allowed us to consider a whole raft of projects we couldn't before,” says Bruce Whitelaw, an animal biotechnologist at the ...
Over 70,000 people around the world have cystic fibrosis (CF), one of the world's most common genetic diseases. Two copies of the mutated CFTR gene cause the disease; an affected individual usually ...
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), a gene-editing tool, is a promising way to treat diseases by removing, adding, or altering sections of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ...
Many genetic diseases are caused by diverse mutations spread across an entire gene, and designing genome editing approaches for each patient's mutation would be impractical and costly. Many genetic ...
In the latest of ongoing efforts to expand technologies for modifying genes and their expression, researchers have developed chemically modified guide RNAs for a CRISPR system that targets RNA instead ...
During her chemistry Nobel Prize lecture in 2018, Frances Arnold said, “Today we can for all practical purposes read, write and edit any sequence of DNA, but we cannot compose it.” That isn’t true ...

Researchers created a genetically modified transparent squid — and this could be huge for brain research
Historically, turning invisible was considered the stuff of wizardry and spells. More recently, physicists have also looked ...
Typically, CRISPR-based genome editing is used to target and cut DNA. Recently, however, RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13 proteins have emerged as tools to alter gene expression. Now, researchers explore ...
Next-generation sequencing methods that provide multi-omic read-outs of CRISPR-modified cells reveal the relevance of genetic variants to disease states. Benjamin Izar is trying to work out what ...
