With the first medical therapy approved and systems like CRISPR-Cas showing up in complex cells, there’s a lot happening in the genome editing field. By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published Jan 26, ...

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 ...

In an extraordinary 6,000-word guest editorial in the October 2024 issue of The CRISPR Journal (a sister journal of GEN, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.), Fyodor Urnov, PhD, laid out the urgent ...

Meanwhile, the now-widely popular clustered regularly interspaced short palindrome repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) that form adaptive defense systems against infectious ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure the smallest twists and torques of molecules within milliseconds. The method makes it possible to track the gene recognition of CRISPR-Cas protein ...

The EU has relaxed its rules on gene-editing. Now, only some gene-edited crops are regulated by the stringent GMO directive.

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...

Genome editing with various CRISPR-Cas molecule complexes has progressed rapidly in recent years. Hundreds of labs around the world are now working to put these tools to clinical use and are ...

Bacteria and their viruses, known as phages, are locked in an age-old arms race. To defend against phage attacks, bacteria have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recognize and counteract invading ...
