A team of researchers has recently established a series of novel strategies to increase the efficiency of targeted gene disruption and new gene "introduction" using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in the rice ...

More than a decade ago, pioneering biochemist Jennifer Doudna co-invented CRISPR, the gene editing technology which earned her the Nobel Prize in chemistry. Now, the very first treatment based on ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell. After that ...

Scientists have used this gene editing tool in combination with techniques to introduce 2–3 specific mutations at chosen locations in the genome of microbial cells to obtain desired phenotypes ...

A multidisciplinary team of scientists led by Britt Adamson at Princeton University along with collaborators from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the genome editing company Editas Medicine, ...

editing technology is complex — and because, un­like with mitochondrial disease, there are no heart-wrenching personal tales on which to hang the debate.
