Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of scientists from Wageningen University & Research and Van Andel Institute has ...
Nobel Prize winner and CRISPR DNA-editing pioneer Jennifer A. Doudna, PhD, spoke Thursday at Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle. Her lecture kicked off the President’s Seminar series, presented by ...
Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far safer and more flexible. Instead of cutting DNA, the new approach scrubs away ...
CRISPR was one of the most influential breakthroughs of the last decade, but it's still imperfect. While the gene editing tool is already helping people with genetic ailments, scientists are also ...
Most gene-editing tools are blind to context. Point them at a DNA sequence and they cut, whether that sequence sits inside a tumor or inside a perfectly healthy organ. A study published in Nature in ...
NASA astronaut Nick Hague runs an analysis with the miniPCR hardware for Genes in Space-6 during Expedition 59. This experiment explored how space radiation damages DNA and how cells repair that ...
