Illustration showing how autophagy induction increases the efficiency of precise gene editing. In normal cells, DNA breaks caused by CRISPR–Cas9 are frequently repaired through non-homologous end ...

A new gene editor may soon open the door to gene therapies for a wider array of diseases. Ask scientists what gene editing tool is most needed to advance gene therapy, and they'd probably describe a ...

CRISPR is a gene-editing tool that acts like “molecular scissors,” but using it on cancer is complex. The technology’s biggest impact so far is in research labs, helping scientists understand how ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

Instead of requiring personalized gene edits for each patient, the new approach could create a standardized method to use for many diseases. By Pam Belluck and Carl Zimmer Gene-editing therapies offer ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...

Aurora Therapeutics, cofounded by Nobel Prize–winning scientist Jennifer Doudna, plans to use gene editing and a new FDA ...

The one-off treatment highlights the promise of a new type of gene editing and the challenges of using it to treat extremely rare genetic diseases. Doctors say they constructed a bespoke gene-editing ...

Tools such as CRISPR can edit genes with precision, but the process of determining which genes to target is costly and slow, ...

EQT Foundation has invested in UK-based Biographica as part of its seed round, supporting the company’s machine learning platform for faster and more accurate crop gene discovery. Biographica’s ...
