Anthropic’s claim its AI agents discovered an unusual pattern in viral DNA similar to what’s seen in the gene-editing tool ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect bacteria from viruses. Several different types of CRISPR-Cas defense systems are found in bacteria, which differ in their composition and functions. Among them, the ...

CRISPR’s promise of curing diseases hit a setback when researchers discovered that AZD7648, a molecule designed to improve precision, also caused catastrophic hidden damage to DNA. Instead of perfect ...

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...

Gene editing in plants remains challenging, with the traditional non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) repair pathway often hindering precision. In this study, researchers advanced CRISPR-Cas-based gene ...

Out of the many challenges scientists face in bringing genomic medicine to patients, delivery is near the top of the list. Due to these barriers in getting the genetic payload to the correct target ...

A team of researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a point-of-care testing (POCT) system based on microfluidic CRISPR-Dx technology, ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses thwart invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens’ DNA and chop it up to ...

A DNA-guided CRISPR platform could make RNA detection and control more stable, scalable, and precise, opening new routes for diagnostics, transcriptome engineering, and future therapeutic research.
