Guan-En Graham is determined to find out exactly what happened to her father. When she was a child, he developed brain cancer. Since then, she has worked to understand the intricate genetic mechanisms ...
Last week I read an article about CRISPR, the latest tool scientists are using to edit DNA. It was a great piece – well researched, beautifully written, factually accurate. It covered some of the ...
Researchers mined the molecular foundations of cancer and uncovered a new reason chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T cell therapy) fails in some patients. This discovery has fueled new strategies that ...
With the help of the CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors, genetic information in a plant can be modified to make the latter more robust to pests, diseases, or extreme climatic conditions. Researchers have ...
The founder of genetics, Gregor Mendel (1822 – 1884), believed that all traits of plants can be combined freely with each other. Now, it is known that certain traits are inherited jointly, because the ...
Scientists have discovered a way to make gene editing safer and more precise — and it's an advance that could help bolster the global food supply in a warming world. Developed by the Broad Institute ...
A new technique uses the CRISPR molecule to snip away at the part of RNA viruses that allows them to spread infection by making copies of themselves. Molecular Scissors Could Help Keep Some Viral ...
Cellectis Says It Can Cut and Paste DNA Sequences with Its “Molecular Scissors” When a meganuclease enters a cell, it can cut out a mutation, repair the cell, and re-edit the genome for the spelling ...
