For the first time, the tools to rewrite human biology are moving from speculative fiction into regulated clinics and ...

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

Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

AI‑driven protein design creates potent anti‑CRISPR inhibitors that block Cas13 activity, offering a new potential tool for safer, more controlled gene editing.

Growing focus on gene-based therapies, advances in editing tools, and increasing research investments are accelerating the adoption of genome editing technologies across life sciences and agriculture.

Entrepreneurs say it’s time to safety-test designer baby technology. A West Coast biotech entrepreneur says he’s secured $30 million to form a public-benefit company to study how to safely create ...

This project involved a collaborative meeting in Hanover, Germany in October 2017. The collaborators were the InterAcademy Partnership and the European Academies Science Advisory Concil. The workshop ...

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

CRISPR–Cas9-based therapies are widely investigated for their clinical applications. However, there are limitations ...
