Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Now, scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a powerful new CRISPR ...

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a revolutionary gene editing technology that allows scientists to modify DNA sequences with unprecedented precision, efficiency, ...

Researchers experimenting with genetically engineered hamsters have found that the biology behind social behavior may be more complex than we thought. The team used CRISPR to block a certain ...

CRISPR systems are powerful tools for genetic engineering, but they have their limitations. Now, scientists have discovered almost 200 new CRISPR systems in their native habitat of bacteria, and found ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

Future AI-guided genomic analysis offers the potential to further optimize gene constructs, expression profiles, and performance traits, accelerating the development of next-generation materials.

Microbes have long been engaged in an arms race for dominance, and they have molecular weapons and defense mechanisms. This is where the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system originated; bacteria can chop ...

In another advance for CRISPR technology, researchers have devised a way to edit genes in insects, including cockroaches. The technique involves editing the genomes of female adults that are carrying ...
