Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), of an organism.

Our genomes are filled with errors that were once impossible to correct. But in CRISPR, we finally found an extraordinarily ...

Scientists say they have used the gene-editing tool CRISPR inside someone's body for the first time, a new frontier for efforts to operate on DNA, the chemical code of life, to treat diseases. A ...

Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...

CRISPR, short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a revolutionary gene-editing tool originally discovered as a bacterial defence mechanism. Scientists have repurposed it ...
