Recent scientific advances have made genome editing technologies—a suite of biological tools for making precise additions, deletions, and alterations to the DNA and RNA of living cells– more rapid, ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

In Gerold Schank's lab, researchers from the University of Zurich have used protein engineering and an AI model to make the protein TnpB much more effective for genome editing. It was recently ...

The already sophisticated breeding systems for major commodity crops like Corn and Soybeans are being synergized through the use of genome editing technology Genome editing with CRISPR and other tools ...

Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...

A pair of privately-held developers of editing-based therapies have some successes to show for their recent efforts to address the longtime challenge of bringing their treatments to patients by ...

Researchers introduce Variant-aware Cas-OFFinder, a web-based tool that improves CRISPR off-target predictions by incorporating individual genetic differences. By reconstructing allele-specific ...

Feng Zhang is a core institute member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, as well as an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, co-director of the K. Lisa Yang and ...

Genome editing is no longer a futuristic concept — scientists are already rewriting the genetic material of living organisms to cure diseases, enhance crops, and revolutionize biotechnology. This ...

CRISPR-Cas is used broadly in research and medicine to edit, insert, delete or regulate genes in organisms. TnpB is an ancestor of this well-known 'gene scissor' but is much smaller and thus easier to ...
