The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few ...

Medical anthropologist and bioethicist Julia Brown says scientists and nonscientists need to talk about whether and how we should use CRISPR to edit the fetal genome. When you purchase through links ...

CRISPR was one of the most influential breakthroughs of the last decade, but it's still imperfect. While the gene editing tool is already helping people with genetic ailments, scientists are also ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

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 ...

CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing relies on a guide RNA that binds to a desired DNA sequence and a Cas9 enzyme that cuts both strands of DNA at that site, creating a double-strand break. Scientists edit the ...

Nobel Prize winner and CRISPR DNA-editing pioneer Jennifer A. Doudna, PhD, spoke Thursday at Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle. Her lecture kicked off the President’s Seminar series, presented by ...

To compete at iGEM, a sort of science Olympics, teens at a Georgia high school set their sights on finding a better way to ...

The new GE technology — for which the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has recently been granted a patent — deploys the so-called TnpB or Transposon-associated proteins.

Many foundational research technologies have transformed cellular therapies, moving treatments from concept to clinic. In the past decade, chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) and genome editing are two ...
