Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses ...

Today’s mass-produced tomatoes often grow to palm-sized proportions, but their naturally occurring ancestors were far smaller ...

Genome Editing Market Size Was Valued at USD 7.39 Billion in 2023, and is Projected to Reach USD 30.78 Billion by 2032, ...

These studies suggested an association with gastrointestinal cancers and glioblastoma, but little was known about how the ...

Results for the Phase I clinical trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, bring hope for people with ...

pyogenes. They suspect that the longer CRISPR-RNA is what identifies the virus DNA, and that the Cas9 protein does the actual cutting. Over the next few months, the two teams perform many DNA ...

The Cas9 protein is the most widely used by scientists. 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 ...

L. Tang et al. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in human zygotes using Cas9 protein. Molecular Genetics and Genomics. Vol. 292, June 2017, p. 525, Published online March 1, 2017. doi: 10.1007 ...

The team at the University of Bath in southwest England describes the CRISPR ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule as the satellite navigation system for the Cas9 protein. It guides the protein to the ...

This step is key to discriminating between off- and on-target DNA sequences by the Cas9 protein that matches its programmable guide RNA, a short sequence that directs DNA editing to precise ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...
