Precision gene editing can be achieved by base editing, nucleotide editing, or editing of small or large gene fragments. The specific mechanisms include various DNA repair pathways. Many precision ...

Illustration showing how autophagy induction increases the efficiency of precise gene editing. In normal cells, DNA breaks caused by CRISPR–Cas9 are frequently repaired through non-homologous end ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...

Instead of requiring personalized gene edits for each patient, the new approach could create a standardized method to use for many diseases. By Pam Belluck and Carl Zimmer Gene-editing therapies offer ...

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...

Investigators have developed STITCHR, a new gene editing tool that can insert therapeutic genes into specific locations without causing unwanted mutations. The system can be formulated completely as ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.

The one-off treatment highlights the promise of a new type of gene editing and the challenges of using it to treat extremely rare genetic diseases. Doctors say they constructed a bespoke gene-editing ...
