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

CRISPR-Cas9 is widely used to edit the genome by studying genes of interest and modifying disease-associated genes. However, this process is associated with side effects including unwanted mutations ...

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 ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists have found a way to efficiently and precisely remove genes from white blood cells of the immune system and to substitute beneficial replacements, all in far less time ...

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 ...
