Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. William A. Haseltine, Ph.D., covers genomics and regenerative medicine Newly published research offers a novel technique to ...

Some hereditary genetic defects cause an exaggerated immune response that can be fatal. Using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool, such defects can be corrected, thus normalizing the immune response, as ...

Scientists used their expertise in quantum biology, artificial intelligence and bioengineering to improve how CRISPR Cas9 genome editing tools work on organisms like microbes that can be modified to ...

In the never-ending quest to discover previously unknown CRISPR gene-editing systems, researchers have scoured microbes in everything from hot springs and peat bogs to poo and even yogurt. Now, thanks ...

Innovative research into the gene-editing tool targets influenza’s ability to replicate—stopping it in its tracks.

ORNL scientists are advancing CRISPR Cas9 tools for microbes to create renewable fuels, merging quantum biology, AI, and bioengineering. Guide RNAs, pivotal in CRISPR Cas9, allow precise genomic ...

Genome editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 have transformed biology, medicine, and agriculture, but concerns remain about unintended edits at off-target DNA sites. These off-target effects can cause ...

Eleven years ago, gene therapy — where defective genes are snipped out of DNA and replaced with healthy ones — became a household name. A landmark paper proved that scientists could precisely ...

A graphic representation of a round, lumpy, blue protein and a single, comblike, purple strand of RNA interacting with a twisted, double, blue strand of DNA that separates where it meets the RNA. A ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has been the household name of genetic engineering tools over the past decade, but there might be other, better ways. MIT scientists have now demonstrated an alternative called Fanzor, ...
