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 ...

But to date this technology - which allows scientists to use a "guide" RNA to modify DNA sequences and evaluate the effects - ...

Bioengineering professor and The Grainger College of Engineering's Dean, Rashid Bashir, led a team of researchers in a ...

Researchers have identified an ancient RNA-guided system that can target DNA, potentially expanding the genome-editing toolbox.

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is ...

In CRISPR/Cas-based diagnostic tests, guide RNAs bind pathogen DNA or RNA, triggering Cas enzymes to become active and cleave the reporter nucleic acids that fluoresce when cleaved. However ...

This protein can easily be programmed to find and bind to almost any desired target sequence, simply by giving it a piece of RNA to guide it in its search. When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to ...
