Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens our ability to prevent and treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. To better monitor the emergence and spread of resistance, ...

During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology (BIOL), Wei Sun, a chemical biologist at ...

If genetic editing wasn't crazy enough for your reality, a recent breakthrough in CRISPR(Opens in a new window) technology has paved the way for editing entire gene networks in a single step. While ...

Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...

Scientists reprogrammed two widely used “chemically induced proximity” systems in a recent chemical science paper. CIP systems are very simple: when a small molecule is added, two engineered protein ...

Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 "gene scissors" is a powerful tool for biological discovery and for identifying novel drug targets. In pooled CRISPR screens, a large number of cells are edited ...

CRISPRgenee is a new method that combines gene silencing and cutting to improve loss-of-function studies in human cells. (Nanowerk News) The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the ...

UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T ...
