A condition called CD3 delta SCID is caused by a mutation in the CD3D gene, which prevents the production of the CD3 delta protein that is needed for the normal development of T cells from blood stem ...

Gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 has garnered significant amounts of positive press in recent months, as the promise of gene editing could help with medicine and alter DNA for the better. But a new study ...

The CRISPR-based genome editing toolbox is packed with powerful refinements. The latest of these, prime editing (PE), was first reported in Nature in 2019 by David Liu’s group. Using a prime editing ...

Scientists and biotechnologists have heralded the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system as revolutionary way to edit DNA, like scissors and a glue stick for the genome. But a new study found some ...

The lone volunteer in a gene-editing study targeting a rare form of Duchenne muscular dystrophy likely died after having a reaction to the virus that delivered the therapy in his body, researchers ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have addressed a longstanding challenge in CRISPR genome editing—accurately predicting guide RNA (gRNA) activity. Unlike previous ...

Researchers have hijacked a defense system normally used by bacteria to fend off viral infections and redirected it against human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes cervical, head and neck, ...
