A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...
Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...
Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...
Investigators from Mass General Brigham and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have developed STITCHR, a new gene editing tool that can insert therapeutic genes into specific locations without ...
The one-off treatment highlights the promise of a new type of gene editing and the challenges of using it to treat extremely rare genetic diseases. Doctors say they constructed a bespoke gene-editing ...
