The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

Complementary discoveries have the potential to enhance treatment options for antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers at ...

Researchers use CRISPR to overcome seemingly insurmontable reproductive barriers — but that doesn't mean this could work for ...

It’s a new way to create “bi-paternal” mice that can survive to adulthood—but human applications are still a long way off.

Studies demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity, comparable to PCR, with potential for point-of-care use. 5,7 CRISPR-based assays have shown promise in the diagnosis of different pathogens ...

Visualizing cells after editing specific genes can help scientists learn new details about the function of those genes. But ...

This is CRISPR for editing polymers,” said ORNL’s Jeffrey Foster, who led a study that was published in Journal of the ...

The gene-editing treatment will be available to certain patients with sickle cell disease in England as Vertex commits to collecting additional data.

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...
