I want to stress that the molecular scissors metaphor is pretty damn accurate as far as it goes. But in focusing on the relatively simple relationship between CRISPR and DNA, we miss the far more ...

CRISPR, an important and evolving technology, holds great promise for agricultural research. Its developers recently received the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

CRISPR gene scissors, as new tools of molecular biology, have their origin in an ancient bacterial immune system. But once a virus attack has been successfully overcome, the cell has to recover.

CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect bacteria from viruses. Several different types of CRISPR-Cas defense systems are found in bacteria, which differ in their composition and functions. Among them ...

The CRISPR-Cas gene scissors offer a wide range of potential applications, from the treatment of genetic diseases to antiviral therapies and diagnostics. However, to safely harness their powers ...

Scientists are taking CRISPR scissors to Alzheimer’s and at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, researchers got a sneak peak.

CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is essentially a pair of molecule-sized programmable scissors—scissors that work on the DNA inside living cells.

With a set of 'ultra compact' CRISPR proteins, the startup built a COVID-19 test and wants to be a platform for finding and treating any disease.

RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects. They can suppress infection by eliminating viral RNA, such as in ...

CRISPR as a gene-editing tool has endless potential to advance biotechnology and medicine. While CRISPR Therapeutics is most well known, there are plenty of other CRISPR companies and startups ...

The CRISPR gene-editing tool was developed 10 years ago and has since been transformative for research. Here's what to know.
