Ever since the development of CRISPR/CAS-based gene editing in 2012, the technology has been increasingly adapted in ...

Researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors. A molecule designed to make the process more efficient destroys parts of the genome. Genome editing with ...

CRISPR-Cas tools allow researchers to modify individual building blocks of genetic material in a precise and targeted manner. Gene therapies based on such gene editing are already being used to ...

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 ...

They argue that this molecule should not be used for gene editing and that other ways should be sought to make it more efficient and safer. Genome editing with various CRISPR-Cas molecule complexes ...

"We showed a proof-of-concept here, that we can use CRISPR/Cas9 to generate variants in key crop genes and get the same leaps as we would in traditional plant breeding approaches, but on a very ...

In a letter released to the public on Monday, chemical giant DuPoint Pioneer announced plans to market the first crop that uses a type of precise genetic modification called CRISPR-Cas 9.

His team may have found a way using a globally popular crop—the tomato—as an example. By comparing wild and domesticated tomatoes, the team hunted down a set of genes that put the brakes on sugar ...
