Gene editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 enable precise alteration of DNA, offering new possibilities in biomedical research, agriculture, and therapeutics.

Basic science The history of CRISPR gene editing is a classic story of science: a bunch of people working in a not-especially cutting-edge area of science found something strange.

Performing 175 different DNA edits, the researchers show prime editing can change DNA with incredible precision and, importantly, introduces errors at a much lower rate than previous gene-editing ...

There's a fresh push to edit the genes of human embryos to prevent diseases and enhance characteristics that parents value.

In landmark decisions, the Food and Drug Administration approved two gene-editing treatments for sickle cell disease. The approvals offers new hope for patients and signal a new era in medicine.

Out in the open Research involving the editing of human embryos will begin soon elsewhere in the world, if it hasn’t done so privately already. In a Cell paper published on April 7, Lanner’s ...
