CRISPR–Cas systems incorporating Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) and Acidaminococcus sp. Cas12a (AsCas12a) are commonly used genome-editing tools in human cells. However, these Cas enzymes are at ...
In 2013, Benjamin Oakes was hellbent on getting his PhD while working on the bleeding edge of molecular engineering: refining a gene editing tool, Crispr, that promised to some day cut DNA as ...
A team of scientists created a new gene-editing tool that they claim is more accurate than the industry standard, CRISPR. Researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia, developed what is called ...
Membrane-derived particles cloaked in membrane fragments can deliver CRISPR genome editing tools to specific cells for complex genome engineering inside the body. Scientists in the lab of Nobel Prize ...
A new genome editing tool—minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT)—can achieve simultaneous and orthogonal gene editing and gene regulation in human cells. The coming together of ...
With such striking effects, many scientists see modulating the microbiomes as a promising avenue for improving human health and wellbeing. In recent years, researchers have shown that tweaking the ...
