CRISPR-Cas systems are prokaryotic immune systems that confer resistance to foreign genetic elements such as plasmids and phages. CRISPR-Cas systems have been exploited for targeted genome editing ...

“How awesome is it that we’re at this point?” said Nessan Bermingham, who co-founded and led Intellia, one of the first CRISPR companies, until 2017.

For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

Omics data is the highest (n=161), while CRISPR/Cas genome editing is trending among crops (n=45). Grain studies dominate, leaving fruits and vegetables underrepresented in abiotic stress research.

Using laboratory-evolved versions of CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) from bacteria, scientists at the Broad Institute and Columbia University were able to insert healthy genes into human ...

Crispr Therapeutics said it is partnering with Sirius Therapeutics to develop and commercialize SRSD107, a small interfering RNA therapy to treat thromboembolic disorders. Under the agreement ...

Allison DeAngelis is the East Coast biotech and venture capital reporter at STAT, reporting where scientific ideas and money meet. She is also co-host of the weekly biotech podcast, The Readout ...

Researchers have, for the first time ever, used CRISPR gene editing on spiders. While the genetically-modified critters lack the ability to give you spidey senses, they do spin glowing silk.

Nine-month-old KJ Muldoon recently underwent CRISPR-based gene editing by a team at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn Medicine in a historical medical breakthrough. The landmark study ...

CRISPR Therapeutics stock is down more than 80% from the peak it reached in 2021. The first drug from CRISPR Therapeutics launched early last year, but annualized sales are still less than $60 ...
