Any molecular biologist will tell you that genetic engineering is tricky. But up until recently we might be witnessing a new age in human development. Hosted by: Michael Aranda Dooblydoo thanks go to ...

Scientists have used CRISPR to give the goldenberry a modern makeover, shrinking the plant by about a third and making it ...

A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...

When Feng Zhang was in his early 30s, he used a set of genes found in bacteria called CRISPR to pioneer a new kind of gene ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.

CRISPR–Cas9-based therapies are widely investigated for their clinical applications. However, there are limitations ...

Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...
