"GenomePAM allows us to understand how well a CRISPR tool works and, crucially, considering all possible PAMs, how precise it might cut in the genome. That's essential for making gene editing ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) report that they have developed a new tool (Cas13d-NCS) that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the cell ...

In a potential advance for melanoma patients, researchers at ChristianaCare's Gene Editing Institute have used CRISPR gene editing tools to disable a gene mutation often seen in aggressive forms of ...

CRISPR/Cas systems have undergone tremendous advancement in the past decade. These precise genome editing tools have applications ranging from transgenic crop development to gene therapy and beyond.

In the never-ending quest to discover previously unknown CRISPR gene-editing systems, researchers have scoured microbes in everything from hot springs and peat bogs to poo and even yogurt. Now, thanks ...

Like the find-and-replace feature of a word processor, CRISPR-based engineering allows scientists to quickly and efficiently edit DNA sequences with base pair precision. Lauded as the great ...
