Researchers at Kumamoto University have successfully executed a practical trial of a new genome-editing technique that allows ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into ...

“We also want to understand exactly how the inhibitor proteins block Cas9’s gene targeting abilities, and continue the search for more and better CRISPR inhibitors in other bacteria.” The researchers ...

Suffering on such an immense scale can appear hopeless. However, a technique called CRISPR gene editing promises to help deal with these issues and many more—and wise regulation can spur it on.

CRISPR libraries enable scientists to systematically investigate gene functions, identify novel drug targets, and develop personalized therapies.

But when the CSH team, led by geneticist, Jason Sheltzer, used gene-editing technique CRISPR to turn off the ... That said, a CRISPRko screen also has its challenges. “Some genes are essential ...
