Often, science moves ahead incrementally. Yet sometimes it advances in dramatic leaps and bounds that can stir new hopes for medical benefits while shaking society...

University of Illinois researchers achieved the highest reported rates of inserting genes into human cells with the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing system, a necessary step for harnessing...

A pair of researchers from the University of California has retracted a paper they had published in the journal Nature Medicine in which they claimed to have...

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have discovered a set of simple rules that determine the precision of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in human cells. These...

For the first time ever, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have mapped how bacterial cells trigger their defense against outside attacks. This could affect...

Although genome editing is an exciting and promising field of research, it does not come without its concerns. For instance, it can cause the chromosomes...

The new system, dubbed RESCUE, allows RNA edits to be made that were not previously possible. CRISPR-based tools have revolutionized our ability to target disease-linked...

Researchers have modified and refined the gene-editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 since it was developed. Now researchers have used a more precise version of the editor to repair a genetic...
