The replication of potentially harmful adenoviruses can be significantly reduced in human cells in cell culture by using the so-called CRISPR-Cas9 system ("gene scissors"). This method, which is used ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most ...

Previous studies in mice have shown that gene editing may be used to potentially treat conditions such as anxiety. While CRISPR/Cas9 represents a revolutionary gene editing technology, its delivery to ...

A new technique has been added to the CRISPR gene-editing toolbox. Known as PASTE, the system uses virus enzymes to “drag-and-drop” large sections of DNA into a genome, which could help treat a range ...

The gene editing tools based on CRISPR/Cas9 include CRISPR knockout (CRISPR KO), CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), and CRISPR activation (CRISPRa). The action mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 in cells in three ...

Restricted access to genome-editing technologies poses serious challenges for countries like India that urgently need such ...

In this interview, News Medical speaks to Assistant Professor Ryan Jackson about his latest work, published in tandem Nature papers, detailing the discovery of a new CRISPR immune system. Please can ...

India is close to approving a genetically edited variety of mustard, which offers better nutrition and disease resistance ...
