Our genetic material is littered with parasitic DNA sequences, known as transposons, which promote their own propagation and transmission, rather than their host’s 1. Their movements (transposition) ...

Gene editing for the development of new treatments, and for studying disease as well as normal function in humans and other organisms, may advance more quickly with a new tool for cutting larger ...

A new technique has been added to the CRISPR gene-editing toolbox. Known as PASTE, the system uses virus enzymes to “drag-and-drop” large sections of DNA into a genome, which could help treat a range ...
