This year’s Nobel Prize for Chemistry was won by Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for their development of CRISPR-Cas9 – a method for genome editing. An animation of how CRISPR-Cas works, ...
CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...
CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR RNA-guided cleavage. Type V CRISPR-Cas (Cas12) systems, in particular, ...
Science and medicine are incredibly amazing. Thanks to modern science and medicine, we now have lifespans far beyond our Dark Age predecessors, living until ripe old age and enjoying the fruits of our ...
CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is an advanced technology developed in 2012 that can be used to edit genes. It can be used to find specific DNA sequences inside ...
Crops around the world are under pressure from high temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns and disease. Something must be done to protect them. Gene editing in agriculture can make crops more ...
