Bring up germline editing, and most scientists cringe. The idea behind the notorious CRISPR-baby scandal, editing reproductive cells or embryos tinkers with DNA far beyond just the patient—any changes ...

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

In fact, one scientist claims that he's genetically engineered two babies using a revolutionary tool called Crispr. But what exactly is a "Crispr baby" anyway? Would you like to be 6 feet tall?

Dr He Jiankui, a Chinese biophysicist, made the two designer babies, Lulu and Nana, by employing a gene editing technology known as CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short ...

The commission, composed of dozens of scientists worldwide, was formed after Chinese geneticist He Jiankui claimed in 2018 to have used CRISPR-Cas9 on a set of twins and a third baby to make them ...

In fact, one scientist claims that he's genetically engineered two babies using a revolutionary tool called CRISPR. But what exactly is a CRISPR baby, anyway? CRISPR is made from specialized ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

Base editing utilizes enzymes to modify single amino acids at the most foundational unit of DNA, called a base.

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...
