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 ...

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 ...

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 insert beneficial replacements, all in far less time than ...

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

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 ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...

Advanced biotechnology repurposes two bacterial immune systems to correct large stretches of DNA. Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark ...

'Our new but simple method is far more effective and can now be applied to a much wider range of plant species than our original approach' Genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, have been ...
