The team is the first to demonstrate that HIV-1 replication can be completely shut down and the virus eliminated from infected cells in animals with CRISPR/Cas9

Gene-editing tool rescues photoreceptors from a variety of mutations

Once completed, yeast cells carrying a fully artificial genome—termed Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2.0, or Sc2.0—"will prove invaluable for both academic and industrial applications," says lead study author 

Researchers discover the first CRISPR-Cas9 system in archaea, which may enable new technologies for biological research

Researchers reveal daunting challenges to changing the DNA of entire populations of species via the most promising techniques available today to produce "gene drive"

The report concludes that clinical trials using heritable germline genome editing should be permitted, but the Center for Genetics and Society has some concerns

While applications for this kind of organism are still far in the future, the researchers say the work could be used to create new functions for single-celled organisms that play important roles in drug discovery and much more

Plant biologists have developed a genome editing method to knockout target genes in a model plant with high efficiency

Findings presented at ASH meeting offer clues about use of gene editing for disease-causing mutations

Scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Austria (IMBA) have now unraveled the precise mechanisms by which germline cells produce a class of small RNA
