Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

Encoded in our DNA are thousands of genes. Working together, they determine all sorts of physical attributes—from eye color and blood type to the number of limbs we have—and much, much more. It’s also ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers described an approach to edit the recombination-activating gene 2 (RAG2) locus for therapeutic applications. Study: CRISPR-Cas9 ...

Researchers have developed a novel delivery system for sending CRISPR reagents to brain cells, where they perform their gene editing function. In this approach, a nanoparticle exposes cells to the ...

Gene therapy for some diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), can be tricky because the needed gene is often too large to fit inside the viral vector used for delivery. Researchers at ...

For more than a decade, the strongest AIDS drugs could not fully control Matt Chappell's HIV infection. Now his body controls it by itself, and researchers are trying to perfect the gene editing that ...

In a finding with implications for one of the most promising cutting-edge medical treatments, researchers evaluated several measurement techniques commonly used in gene therapy. The study determined ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists have managed to halt a rare and fatal brain disease with an experimental gene therapy technique using a deactivated version of the AIDS virus, a study published on ...

A research team has developed a high-throughput multiplexed gene and cell doping analysis (HiMDA) based on gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas). The work is published in the journal Science Advances. Unethical ...

The human genome contains about 23,000 genes, but only a fraction of those genes are turned on inside a cell at any given time. The complex network of regulatory elements that controls gene expression ...
