A new engineered gene-editing system, proven in bacteria and showing promise for use in plants, animals and humans, addresses ...

Researchers report the first CRISPR/Cas12a editing of sugarcane, showing that co-expressing the mTREX2 exonuclease boosts ...

How the expression of Cas proteins in bacterial CRISPR-Cas immune system adapts to the constantly changing CRISPR structures and crRNA expression levels has been a long-standing unresolved question.

CRISPR-Cas systems protect bacteria against viruses and other mobile genetic elements. Here, Brodmann et al. identify two proteins that interact with RNA polymerase to control expression of a ...

Anthropic’s claim its AI agents discovered an unusual pattern in viral DNA similar to what’s seen in the gene-editing tool CRISPR Cas-9 has set off controversy.

Anthropic says 950 Claude agents scanned more than 200,000 reverse transcriptases in 21 hours, identifying a novel system called ART that researchers later validated in a laboratory ...

With the first medical therapy approved and systems like CRISPR-Cas showing up in complex cells, there’s a lot going on in the genome editing field. Here’s our primer. Around the turn of the century, ...

New research presented early ahead of this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2024, Barcelona, 27-30 April) from a team of researchers in the Netherlands ...

The main function of CRISPR-Cas systems is to defend bacteria against various threats, including viruses called bacteriophages. Researchers have continued to study all varieties of CRISPR-Cas systems ...

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 ...
