Researchers improved the efficiency of the CRISPR-Cpf1 gene editing system by incorporating guide RNAs with "multiplexing" capability

The mere existence of genome editing technologies such as CRISPR is not what will advance science

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

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

This latest Reactions episode, explains how CRISPR works, how it is being used today, and what the future might bring for this landmark technology

New study in Journal of Cell Biology examines DNA targeting dynamics in live cells

It is expected that the technique will be applied to gene therapy in the future in addition to providing a powerful tool for breeding useful organisms and conducting disease and drug-discovery research
