Over the past 10 years, CRISPR has been transformative for research, enabling gene editing that is fast, simple and precise, experts say. The first paper showing that CRISPR could be used to edit the ...

Seq, a CRISPR-based method that enriches ultra-rare tumor DNA in blood by removing background wild-type DNA before sequencing ...

Like the find-and-replace feature of a word processor, CRISPR-based engineering allows scientists to quickly and efficiently edit DNA sequences with base pair precision. Lauded as the great ...

Building on the CRISPR gene-editing system, MIT researchers have designed a new tool that can snip out faulty genes and replace them with new ones, in a safer and more efficient way. Using this system ...

COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y. - A new technology is making it possible to modify specific cells to help fight cancer. Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, located on Long Island, have been applying ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) report that they have developed a new tool (Cas13d-NCS) that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the cell ...

Scientists mapped out the three-dimensional structure of one of the smallest known CRISPR-Cas13 systems then used that knowledge to modify its structure and improve its accuracy. Small and precise: ...

In the never-ending quest to discover previously unknown CRISPR gene-editing systems, researchers have scoured microbes in everything from hot springs and peat bogs to poo and even yogurt. Now, thanks ...

A CRISPR system detects rare cancer mutations in blood with single-nucleotide precision, outperforming ddPCR through engineered RNA guides and isothermal amplification. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Hidden ...

The rise of RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2 highlights the need for new ways to fight them. RNA-targeting tools like CRISPR/Cas13 are powerful but inefficient in the cytoplasm of cells, where many RNA ...
