CRISPR-Cas9 has made gene editing a lot easier, and will eventually contribute to elimination of hereditary diseases from our DNA. But despite the fact that researchers use CRISPR-Cas9 and similar ...

Cas3, which shreds where Cas9 snips, has been used to chew up long stretches of DNA. Even better, it has done so with precision, a quality seldom associated powerful shredding tools. Combining ...

Over the past decade, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing has revolutionized science. It has been lauded as a breakthrough in biogenetics and medicine, with the potential to treat or eliminate many chronic or ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscle degeneration disorder caused by mutations affecting the dystrophin gene. Researchers show how a dual CRISPR RNA method restored dystrophin protein ...

Cornell researchers have taken an important step toward harnessing CRISPR gene editing in "targeted, safe and potent" cancer treatment, according to Ailong Ke, professor of chemistry and chemical ...

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest potential threats to global health today. But Locus Biosciences is hoping that their crPhage technology might provide a new solution. Based in North ...

In a recent study published in Stem Cell Reports, researchers evaluated the use of a dual clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas3 system for inducing multi-exon ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Transthyretin ...

With further optimization and safety evaluation, this CRISPR–Cas3 can be established as a new and safer platform for genome-editing-based therapies, providing patients with durable, possibly one-time ...

Researchers at North Carolina-based Locus Biosciences think they have a potential cure for antibiotic resistance using CRISPR’s lesser-known Cas3 enzyme. Most of the interest in CRISPR technology ...
