UC and Broad have been involved in two interferences at the patent office. Interference No. 106,115 was the second interference between UC and Broad over patent rights to CRISPR-Cas9 technology in ...

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

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

He Jiankui, the scientist who claimed to create the first gene-edited babies using CRISPR, is one of the most influential ...

Development of bespoke therapies has been a driving goal in medical research. This year, the announcement of the first patient treated with personalized CRISPR therapy, Baby KJ, highlights this ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this ...
