In 2020, Jennifer Doudna, Ph.D., received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, CRISPR-Cas9, a method for genome editing. Often referred to as “molecular scissors,” CRISPR cuts DNA at specific locations that ...
Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.
Advanced engineered cell therapies require gene editing tools that are both precise and efficient. In recent years, CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as the gold standard for editing genes with greater ...
CRISPR–Cas9-based therapies are widely investigated for their clinical applications. However, there are limitations ...
A graphic representation of a round, lumpy, blue protein and a single, comblike, purple strand of RNA interacting with a twisted, double, blue strand of DNA that separates where it meets the RNA. A ...
