If Andrea Ghez had listened to her critics, one of the galaxy’s greatest mysteries might yet remain unsolved. The UCLA astronomer won the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics for proving the existence of a ...

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 ...

"With the honorary doctorate of the University of Vienna, Emmanuelle Charpentier receives a highly deserved award from the ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into ...

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 ...

Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ... Dec. 13, 2024 — Microorganisms produce a wide variety of natural products that can be ...

Currently, these technologies are subject to the EU’s strict GMO regulation, making their commercialisation in the bloc ...

A research team investigates how genome editing can be harnessed to accelerate cassava breeding and improve key traits.

When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to a cell along with a piece of guide RNA, the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a ...

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular ... where analytical chemistry and life science collide, CRISPR’s growing influence is unmistakable, taking ...

In October, CRISPR Therapeutics co-founder Emmanuelle Charpentier and Intellia co-founder Jennifer Doudna shared the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on CRISP/Cas9.
