Charles Gersbach and his colleagues are pursuing promising CRISPR technologies focused on controlling gene activity rather than permanently altering the genome.

Researchers have used modified CRISPR to silence the extra chromosome 21 in Down syndrome cells, showing promising preclinical results.

CRISPR-Cas9 is an RNA-guided DNA-cutting enzyme system that allows researchers to modify the genetic code of virtually any organism with a precision, speed, and affordability previously unattainable.

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 ...

A recent study utilizing cryo-EM advances our understanding of how bacterial immune systems function and reveals new aspects of CRISPR-Cas biology. Researchers at Vilnius University (Lithuania) have ...

CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect bacteria from viruses. Several different types of CRISPR-Cas defense systems are found in bacteria, which differ in their composition and functions. Among them, the ...

Scientists Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their pioneering work on the gene-editing tool CRISPR. The tool has been used to engineer better crops ...

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 ...
