CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

As the race between U.S. and Chinese biotech companies heats up, the competition is particularly fierce in one field: CRISPR gene editing. China has rapidly emerged as a global leader in CRISPR ...

One drawback, though, is that the DNA that encodes CRISPR base editors is long—too long to fit in ... a base editor into two AAV vectors and injected them into a mouse model of inherited amyotrophic ...

They grab RNAs, proportional to their abundance, and take a little snippet of them — about 40 nucleotides — that they integrate in a CRISPR array. The array is simply a DNA sequence of ...

Beam Therapeutics said Monday that it used a form of CRISPR called base editing to correct, in several patients, a mutation that drives a debilitating lung condition that may affect tens of ...

The DAP CRISPR array architecture overcomes this by enabling ... where BE and PE could be used to model new biological systems.
