CRISPR is a gene editing technique with incredible potential. But the traditional CRISPR-Cas9 approach involves cutting the double helix of DNA in cells, which can have many unintended and dangerous ...

Researchers have developed a single genome-editing strategy, known as PERT, that could potentially treat various diseases caused by nonsense mutations.

In a recent study published in the Microorganisms journal, researchers in China reviewed the uses of bacterial-artificial-chromosome (BAC)-based genome editing techniques in herpesvirus research.

CRISPR-Cas9 is widely used to edit the genome by studying genes of interest and modifying disease-associated genes. However, this process is associated with side effects including unwanted mutations ...

PHILADELPHIA— A new approach to the genetic engineering of cells promises significant improvements in speed, efficiency, and reduction in cellular toxicity compared to current methods. The approach ...

A powerful new approach for the precise, flexible modification of a broad class of chemical compounds called bicyclic aza-arenes—which are commonly used to build drug molecules—has been developed. The ...
