In this study, we developed a robust CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) system to precisely modulate gene expression in the bacterium Rhizobium etli, the nitrogen-fixing symbiont of the common bean. The ...

CRISPR Therapeutics has begun realizing sales on Casgevy, its first therapy and a joint venture with Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The company has plenty of cash to fund research and development for the ...

05. A strange thing happened weeks before the Food and Drug Administration approved the first treatment made with CRISPR gene editing, an all-but cure for certain patients with sickle cell disease.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the biotech industry seems boundless. Its combination with CRISPR could be the one area where AI has the most potential. Nobel prize winner and ...

The gene-editing technique known as CRISPR is promising to revolutionize medicine. Some researchers are trying to help make it available for people with very rare genetic disorders. A gene-editing ...

CRISPR is a versatile tool for editing genomes and has recently been approved as a gene therapy treatment for certain blood disorders. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A powerful form of DNA-editing machinery discovered in bacteria might allow us to make much bigger changes to genomes than is currently possible with CRISPR-based techniques. However, it isn’t ...

The strategy uses a relatively recent genetic technique called CRISPR, which can make cuts in DNA to introduce errors into viral genetic material within immune cells. “These findings represent a ...

Scientists introduced CRISPR to the world as a gene-editing tool in summer 2012, when landmark papers from two independent groups demonstrated how the system could be wielded to make cuts in DNA.

It’s been a monumental year for Crispr, the molecular tool scientists use to edit genetic material. This November, the United Kingdom authorized the first medical treatment using Crispr gene ...

Vertex Pharmaceuticals plans to sell a gene-editing treatment for sickle-cell disease. A patent on CRISPR could stand in the way. That’s a real nice CRISPR cure you have there. It would be a ...
