An experimental therapy called CRMA-1001 is a remarkable development because, instead of targeting the virus directly, it ...

Chicago-based Syntax Bio believes it has cracked the code for turning stem cells into pancreatic beta cells in as little as ...

Nobel laureate Richard Roberts says India can develop and own GM crops domestically, dismissing fears of foreign dependence.

An AI model spotted a strange pattern in a virus's DNA that looks a little like CRISPR. Its makers cannot yet say what it does, and the experts we asked say it is not a gene editing tool.

Called Cas12a2, the CRISPR system had some distinctive properties. Rather than editing cells’ DNA when prompted by a guide RNA, as CRISPR-Cas9 does, Cas12a2 indiscriminately shreds it, ultimately ...

A 2026 review summarizes advances in CRISPR-Cas9 precision, delivery and primary-cell engineering for genetic diseases and ...

Outside the realm of thoughtResearchers write grant applications for KAKENHI (Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research) in order to secure research funding. This is quite a difficult task. First, they ...

Single deletions may be asymptomatic, but 'multiple deletions lead to infertility'—Mouse study with comprehensive deletion of ...

Late last month, Anthropic claimed it had discovered a curious stretch of DNA in a virus called a bacteriophage that repeats over and over again. This is a similar feature to that of CRISPR, the basis ...

Experts at the company don't know what the newfound system does, so its potential utility in biology—if any—remains unclear. But the work marks a major advancement because the A.I. made this discovery ...

Anthropic said on Wednesday that its signature AI model, Claude, had “autonomously” discovered the system at the prompting of researchers working at the company’s recently established biology research ...

A Cleveland Clinic first-in-human clinical trial has shown that a one-time infusion of a gene-editing therapy using CRISPR-Cas9 was effective and safe in reducing LDL ("bad") cholesterol and ...
