Data at ESMO 2025 bolstered the case that blood tests could help doctors sort which patients need additional therapy, and who ...
Despite setbacks and funding cuts — and a quieting of the hype blaring its arrival — multiple CRISPR-based trials are ...
CRISPR powers everything from gene editing to rapid diagnostics, but how did one of its most versatile branches arise? A new Cell study, “Functional RNA splitting drove the evolutionary emergence of ...
CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR RNA-guided cleavage. Type V CRISPR-Cas (Cas12) systems, in particular, ...
Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method—CRISPR—sometimes does more harm than good. A new study from University of California San Diego and Yale ...
A CRISPR system detects rare cancer mutations in blood with single-nucleotide precision, outperforming ddPCR through engineered RNA guides and isothermal amplification. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Hidden ...
DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. This is the central dogma of molecular biology – a mantra taught to every biology undergraduate student to be recalled and expanded ...
In biology’s standard tale of two acids — deoxyribonucleic (DNA) and ribonucleic (RNA) — RNA is merely the messenger. Its better-known cousin DNA plays the lead role, issuing genetic instructions for ...
Researchers at the University of Oxford developed a new CRISPR system that only turns on when it detects specific RNA molecules, acting like a smart switch for gene editing This system uses specially ...
This paper describes RNA-sensing guide RNAs for controlled activation of CRISPR modification. This works by having an extended guide RNA with a sequence that folds back onto the targeting sequence ...
In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...
