Natural systems such as CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs) offer a targetable, one-step way to edit genomes. However, adapting them for biomedical applications has been challenging. To address this ...
Genome editing has advanced at a rapid pace with promising results for treating genetic conditions—but there is always room for improvement. A new paper by investigators from Mass General Brigham ...
Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...

Rodolphe Barrangou, PhD, is the T. R. Klaenhammer Distinguished Professor at North Carolina State University, where he leads the CRISPR Lab. Rodolphe spent nine years at Danisco and DuPont, where he ...
CRISPR Cas9 genome editing has transformed the way scientists approach gene therapy, acting like precise DNA scissors that can target and repair hereditary diseases at the genetic level. This ...
I was born in Washington, DC, in 1964, the oldest of three sisters, but the place that truly formed me as a scientist was Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Growing up there, far from the mainland ...
The EU has eased restrictions on crops developed using novel genetic techniques. While supporters say the technology could ...
Deaf children can now hear thanks to a new treatment that repairs a defective gene. Researchers associated with the biotech company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals unveiled the successful gene therapy last ...
In research published today in Nucleic Acid Research, co-first author Seong Guk Park, PhD, and corresponding author Elizabeth Kellogg, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, designed a ...
