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

CRISPR-Cas technology has radically changed how transgenic models are created. Through CRISPR approaches, researchers have pioneered how to create complex animal models, including long cassette ...

Genome editing with various CRISPR-Cas molecule complexes has progressed rapidly in recent years. Hundreds of labs around the world are now working to put these tools to clinical use and are ...

CRISPR systems that rely on inactivated Cas enzymes—that is, dead Cas (dCas) enzymes—never looked more alive. They harness the targeting power associated with CRISPR—but not the double-strand cuts. As ...

Scientists are genetically engineering microbes to withstand industrial conditions for biofuel production. Researchers found ...

Cardiologist and Men's Health advisory board member Christopher Kelly, MD, says this treatment is "approaching magic" for ...

With the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas technology, the DNA of living organisms can be precisely altered. Using a guide RNA that recognizes a specific DNA sequence, Cas9 protein is recruited to that ...

Cancer and many other diseases are based on genetic defects. The body can often compensate for the defect of one gene; it is only the combination of several genetic errors that leads to the clinical ...

For decades, researchers have used Drosophila melanogaster as a model for developing and applying cutting-edge genetic approaches. These have helped scientists understand complex biological processes ...

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. In this mini review article the authors Meiyu Qiu and Pei Li from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, ...
