A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...
There are many health problems that can be traced back to errors in the genetic code. There are also many potential benefits to genetic engineering outside of healthcare. Nature has already found ways ...
An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals capable of detecting and responding to physical tension in DNA. This ...
A former Colorado Bureau of Investigation DNA scientist intentionally cut corners and didn’t follow standard testing protocols, raising questions about hundreds of cases in which she processed ...
Scientists changed biomedical engineering and took gene editing to a new level when they created the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editor, which utilizes a DNA-cutting enzyme like Cas9 and a guide RNA to move to a ...
New cutting-edge DNA technology could potentially solve the infamous murder of JonBenét Ramsey, but her father, John Ramsey, claims that the Boulder, Colorado, police aren’t interested. “We're begging ...
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — The breakthrough in Morgan Nick's disappearance is thanks to advanced DNA testing technology. It is becoming more and more common that decades-old unsolved cases are revived by ...
When CRISPR first burst onto the biotech scene, it rose to fame for its precise cutting prowess—break a target DNA strand, silence a gene. But the tool came with hiccups. While far more efficient than ...
Future data centers might do away with banks of hard drives and switch to a storage medium that nature has been using for billions of years – DNA. In a major step towards making that a reality, ...
An INRS team discovers a new family of enzymes capable of inducing targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the ...
