Head and neck cancers often begin in the mouth, throat, or voice box. They're among the most common cancers in the world, ...

The CRISPR-Cas9 molecular complex, also known as genetic scissors, is the most widely used tool by scientists around the world. It cuts the double-stranded DNA at the exact site where the genetic ...

Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna leveraged CRISPR into a pair of genetic scissors and showed how sharp they are by proving that they can edit any string of DNA this way. Since Emmanuelle ...

2 The team next wanted to test these findings in a physiological context; they were curious to see how negative supercoiling, or under twisting of DNA that happens during normal transcription and ...

What’s really exciting about gene editing is precision and speed, says Pairwise cofounder and CEO Tom Adams, PhD.

a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, providing insights into its DNA recognition and cleavage mechanisms. The study, published in Nature Communications, was conducted by researchers from ...

CRISPR-Cas9 revolutionized biology and healthcare. It hijacks the bacterial immune defense system to precisely edit a genome. But the method isn’t perfect. It can insert unwanted DNA sequences, delete ...

CRISPR technology has revolutionised genetic engineering, offering unprecedented precision in DNA editing with vast implications for medicine, agriculture and conservation. Yet, its power demands ...

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a revolutionary gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely alter DNA. It works like molecular scissors ...
