Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Tools like CRISPR-Cas9 are creating new opportunities for innovation in St. Louis, as well as risks around IP protection and regulation.

"Traditional gene-editing technologies work best with single mutations and are expensive to optimize, so gene therapies tend to focus on the mutations that are the most common," Buffington said. "But ...

Last month, scientists reported a historic first: they gave the first personalized gene-editing treatment to a baby who was born with a rare life-threatening genetic disorder. Before the treatment, ...

Scientists working on gene editing need to talk about the responsible use of such techniques, geneticist Jennifer Doudna said ina lecture on Monday. Doudna, one of the key players behind the discovery ...

In 2020, Jennifer Doudna, Ph.D., received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, CRISPR-Cas9, a method for genome editing. Often referred to as “molecular scissors,” CRISPR cuts DNA at specific locations that ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

WASHINGTON — Scientists are testing an entirely new way to fight heart disease: a gene-editing treatment that might offer a one-time fix for high cholesterol. It's very early stage research, tried in ...

Gene therapy has long promised to provide a solution for genetic blood disorders, but delivering on that promise has proven complex due to challenges including difficulties delivering the editing ...

Nature gave the world the dire wolf 2.6 million years ago, and then, through the hard hand of extinction, took it away—some 10,000 to 13,000 years ago when the last of the species died out. Now, the ...
