Cancer cells have ways to hide from the immune system, but there are some unique features on these dangerous cells that ...

Charles Gersbach and his colleagues are pursuing promising CRISPR technologies focused on controlling gene activity rather ...

Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By ...

A new method called Tracking-seq can spot off-target effects across multiple CRISPR genome editing tools in just 1–2 weeks. By tracing replication protein A bound to single-stranded DNA, it reveals ...

CRISPR functions as a programmable genetic memory system derived from bacterial immune defenses against viral infections. Guide RNA allows for rapid multiplexed targeting compared to older ...

Rice University scientists used advanced CRISPR techniques to study PEX11, a protein coded by five genes in Arabidopsis plants, revealing its role in controlling peroxisome growth during the ...

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 ...

Last year’s federal agency layoffs, grant discontinuations, and university funding cuts led to numerous warnings of the disastrous impact on U.S. science research. Gretchen Goldman, PhD, from the ...
