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.

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

Beam Therapeutics said Monday that it used a form of CRISPR called base editing to correct, in several patients, a mutation that drives a debilitating lung condition that may affect tens of ...

CRISPR-Cascade, including sample preparation, requires about half an hour, making it the fastest available bloodstream infection diagnostic. There is also the potential to improve sample prep ...

Researchers designed a CRISPR-based test that rapidly detects low levels of pathogen genetic material in blood. This is done without the need for nucleic acid amplification. In CRISPR/Cas-based ...
