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

The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell. After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA. However ...

CRISPR places an entirely new kind of power into human hands. For the first time, scientists can quickly and precisely alter, delete, and rearrange the DNA of nearly any living organism ...

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 ...

In 2020, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to scientists for the discovery of the CRISPR–Cas9 system, a revolutionary ...
