Genetic modifications in reproductive cells, such as eggs, sperm, or embryos, are commonly referred to as germline editing and are heritable. 1 CRISPR-Cas 9, which stands for clustered regularly ...

When the gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 rocketed to fame more than a decade ago, it transformed biotechnology. Faster, cheaper, and safer than previous methods, the tool helped scientists gain insight ...

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have been found in ...

MaxCyte’s Flow Electroporation technology delivers CRISPR/Cas-9 gene-editing tools to a patient’s T cells. The technology uses electrical pulses to create temporary pores in the cell membrane, which ...

EditCo Bio and Promega have announced a strategic licensing agreement that grants EditCo access to Promega’s HiBiT, HaloTag, and NanoLuc technologies. Under the terms of the arrangement, EditCo will ...

Crops around the world are under pressure from high temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns and disease. Something must be done to protect them. Gene editing in agriculture can make crops more ...

In the wake of the germline editing controversy, when Chinese scientist He Jianku illegally edited the embryos of human twins ...

Genome editing with various CRISPR-Cas molecule complexes has progressed rapidly in recent years. Hundreds of labs around the world are now working to put these tools to clinical use and are ...
