Life Sciences Center (LSC) have discovered a unique way for cells to silence specific genes without cutting DNA. This ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Using CRISPR technology that targets RNA instead of DNA, researchers at New York University and the New York Genome Center searched across the genome and found nearly 800 noncoding RNAs important ...

CRISPR's molecular scissors cannot distinguish between the different versions of the gene and therefore occasionally cut the DNA strand at multiple locations on the chromosome - at the active NCF1 ...

Two letters are missing in the DNA sequence of a gene ... the missing letters at the correct position in the gene using the CRISPR system. However, entire sections of the chromosome in which ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA with elegant precision. “It’s a completely brand-new type of ...

the latest shift for a tarantella company that has repeatedly switched direction and leadership since first emerging as one of the first CRISPR biotechs a decade ago. Editas will now focus ...

In an extraordinary 6,000-word guest editorial in the October 2024 issue of The CRISPR Journal (a sister journal of GEN, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.), Fyodor Urnov, PhD, laid out the ...
