What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology ...

Genome editing enables scientists to alter the DNA sequence of cells. This technology has great potential for research and therapeutic applications. One challenge, however, is that editing often works ...

A novel genome editing technique, NICER, is based on the creation of multiple nicks in single DNA strands by nickase. The method can correct heterozygous mutations using two mechanisms: multiple nicks ...

PHILADELPHIA— A new approach to the genetic engineering of cells promises significant improvements in speed, efficiency, and reduction in cellular toxicity compared to current methods. The approach ...

Advanced biotechnology repurposes two bacterial immune systems to correct large stretches of DNA. Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark ...

Researchers have successfully used a DNA-editing technique to extend the lifespan of mice with the genetic variation associated with progeria, a rare genetic disease that causes extreme premature ...

A Penn State-led team of interdisciplinary researchers has developed techniques to improve the efficiency of CRISPR-Cas9, the genome editing technique that earned the Nobel Prize in 2020. While CRISPR ...

Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Significant amounts of time and resources ...
