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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors investigated the off-target effects of ADAR-mediated RNA editing in rice ...

Scientists at CRISPR Therapeutics have compared three commonly used methods to detect off-target gene editing activity of the CRISPR-Cas9 machinery and found them to be equally adept, although each ...

A commonly used scientific method to analyze a tiny amount of DNA in early human embryos fails to accurately reflect gene edits, according to new research. Although gene editing technologies hold ...

A team of U.S.-based scientists who genetically edited scores of human embryos to remove a disease gene say they’ve laid the foundation for trying to create the first gene-modified people. Shoukhrat ...

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, ...

Readers view well-edited articles as more professional, more valuable and of higher quality than articles that have been minimally edited, according to new data presented Friday at the American Copy ...

In 2018, Chinese scientist He Jiankui defied the law and scientific consensus by boldly editing the CCR5 gene in a human embryo, expecting to confer lifelong HIV resistance. The pregnancy eventually ...
