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

In a recent study published in the Microorganisms journal, researchers in China reviewed the uses of bacterial-artificial-chromosome (BAC)-based genome editing techniques in herpesvirus research.

A powerful new approach for the precise, flexible modification of a broad class of chemical compounds called bicyclic aza-arenes—which are commonly used to build drug molecules—has been developed. The ...

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

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 ...

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 substitute beneficial replacements, all in far less time ...

Changing an organism’s genome is a profound act, and the tools you use to make the changes don’t alleviate the need for responsible regulation. Unlike “traditional” genetically modified organisms (GMO ...

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 ...
