Since Emmanuelle and Jennifer published their 2012 paper on CRISPR/Cas9, researchers have used these genetic scissors to create drought-resistant plants and look for new gene-based cancer therapies.

Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study ... a serious side effect of using the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors. A molecule designed to make the process more efficient ...

In short, CRISPR-Cas9 is used to refer to repetitive sequences in DNA which ... UW biotechnologists fight antibiotic resistance with “broken scissors” But in true science fiction fashion, there are ...

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this ...

Targeted CRISPR lipid nanoparticles eliminated 50% of tumors in mice with head and neck cancer.

“Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A Doudna have discovered one of gene technology's sharpest tools: The CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

Gene editing technologies allow scientists to use enzymes — in this case, Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) — as a sort of molecular scissors that can precisely cut or modify portions of DNA ...
