Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of ...
Most gene-editing tools are blind to context. Point them at a DNA sequence and they cut, whether that sequence sits inside a ...
Rapid expansion in clinical applications, rising demand for genomic diagnostics, and increased investment in CRISPR-based therapeutics are fueling one of the fastest-growing life sciences ...
For the first time, a team of researchers from Stellenbosch University (SU) and the Agricultural Research Council has ...
Scientists have gained tremendous control over the genome with CRISPR editing systems, that use a guide RNA molecule to ...
A new generation of CRISPR technology developed at UNSW Sydney offers a safer path to treating genetic diseases like sickle cell, while also proving beyond doubt that chemical tags on DNA—often ...
A graphic representation of a round, lumpy, blue protein and a single, comblike, purple strand of RNA interacting with a twisted, double, blue strand of DNA that separates where it meets the RNA. A ...
Scientists have just discovered an entirely new way that DNA can be synthesized. The business of constructing DNA ...
For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...
A principle of DNA synthesis that has dominated biology textbooks for decades could be upended. An enzyme has been discovered ...
