A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...
A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...
Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...
Researchers experimenting with genetically engineered hamsters have found that the biology behind social behavior may be more complex than we thought. The team used CRISPR to block a certain ...
CRISPR systems are powerful tools for genetic engineering, but they have their limitations. Now, scientists have discovered almost 200 new CRISPR systems in their native habitat of bacteria, and found ...
The CRISPR gene editing system originated in bacteria, and is part of a defense that bacterial cells use against viruses. In CRISPR gene editing, a guide RNA brings a genome-cutting enzyme (typically ...
BENGALURU: The Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) and CrisprBits Private Limited have signed a ...
Microbes have long been engaged in an arms race for dominance, and they have molecular weapons and defense mechanisms. This is where the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system originated; bacteria can chop ...
Medical innovations typically take 17 years from the time a lightbulb goes off in a scientist's head until the first person benefits. But every once in a while, an idea is so powerful and so profound ...
