Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St.

A novel genome editing technique, NICER, is based on the creation of multiple nicks in single DNA strands by nickase. The method can correct heterozygous mutations using two mechanisms: multiple nicks ...

Researchers have developed a new "color-coded" genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes.

CRISPR-Cas9 is widely used to edit the genome by studying genes of interest and modifying disease-associated genes. However, this process is associated with side effects including unwanted mutations ...

For the first time, scientists have found a way to efficiently and precisely remove genes from white blood cells of the immune system and to substitute beneficial replacements, all in far less time ...

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome is a childhood disorder caused by mutations in one of the major architectural proteins of the cell nucleus. In HGPS patients the cell nucleus has dramatically ...

PHILADELPHIA— A new approach to the genetic engineering of cells promises significant improvements in speed, efficiency, and reduction in cellular toxicity compared to current methods. The approach ...
