Scientists have designed a slimmed-down CRISPR protein, enEbCas12a, that still packs a punch in precision editing. Its small size means it can hitch a ride in a harmless virus, delivering edits ...

Many genetic diseases are caused by diverse mutations spread across an entire gene, and designing genome editing approaches for each patient's mutation would be impractical and costly. Many genetic ...

A historic pandemic continues to rage, and it isn’t getting the attention it deserves given the virus’s toll. The outbreak in this case isn’t COVID-19, but a vicious iteration of the avian flu. But ...

CRISPR-modified animals are even being marketed for sale as pets. “It's allowed us to consider a whole raft of projects we couldn't before,” says Bruce Whitelaw, an animal biotechnologist at the ...

CRISPR-modified poplar trees and wild poplar trees grow in a greenhouse at North Carolina State University. (Chenmin Yang, NC State) (CN) — Researchers are using the revolutionary gene-editing ...

Rochester Institute of Technology researchers are improving non-invasive treatment options for degenerative disc disease, an ailment that impacts 3 million adults yearly in the U.S., according to the ...

They look like ordinary horses, with their honey brown coats and white patches. But these 10-month-old foals in Argentina are the world's first gene-edited horses, according to scientists. Experts say ...

PULLMAN — Washington State University researchers have received the first Food and Drug Administration approval allowing meat from gene-edited pigs to enter the food supply chain. It’s the first time ...

Researchers have developed a novel version of a key CRISPR gene-editing protein that shows efficient editing activity and is small enough to be packaged within a non-pathogenic virus that can deliver ...
