Traditional breeding and genetic modification methods have struggled to keep pace with the rapid evolution of plant viruses.

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons ...

Genome editing has advanced at a rapid pace with promising results for treating genetic conditions—but there is always room for improvement. A new paper by investigators from Mass General Brigham ...

Some genetic disorders—such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease—involve many mutations in a person's genome, ...

Since 2019, MIT researchers have published a new concept called prime editing, which is more precise than regular CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. As a result, it has fewer off-target effects and less chance ...

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 ...

Intellia Therapeutics said it is pausing two late-stage CRISPR gene-editing trials after a patient in one study was hospitalized with liver damage.

A Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, made a shocking announcement to the world in 2018: He had secretly engineered the birth of the first gene-edited babies. The birth of the twins was seen as reckless ...

A generation ago, writing a piece like this about using artificial intelligence to develop genome-editing medicines would have sounded like a Star Trek plotline. But both fields have matured to the ...

Intellia Therapeutics said on Monday it has temporarily stopped dosing and screening patients in two late-stage studies of its one-time gene-editing treatment for a heart condition after a patient ...
