From genetically modified mosquitoes to clinical therapies, learn how scientists apply gene editing techniques to answer a ...

Dylan Rees delves into how new research involving sterilised male mosquitos could benefit humans in preventing the spread of diseases.

CRISPR-Cas9 is one of the biggest discoveries of the 21st century. Since it was developed in 2012, this gene-editing tool has revolutionized biology research, making it easier to study disease and ...

‘Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because ...

Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment ...

In a trial similar to the one conducted in the Netherlands, mosquitoes served as carriers for malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites that had been genetically weakened using CRISPR gene-editing ...

GENETICALLY engineered "toxic male" mosquitoes could help kill off disease-spreading females. Scientists say the gene-hacked male insects can cull female numbers by mating with venomous semen.

SPLICER builds upon the popular CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing platform—with key changes. CRISPR-Cas9 systems require a specific DNA sequence to latch on, limiting which genes could be edited.

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to ... An expansion of a hexanucleotide repeat in the C9ORF72 gene can cause ALS. Here, the authors develop a high-fidelity RNA-targeting ...
