CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

An 18-year-old man is essentially “cured” after becoming the first patient ever treated with ultra-sophisticated gene editing ...

The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine thought enough of the threat to convene a conference last fall on the implications of gene drive technology for biosecurity. But many ...

Accra, March 20, GNA – Ghana has expressed interest in exploring gene drive technology as a new approach to combatting malaria. The country is open to adopting technology that is cost-effective ...

A nine-month-old baby has become the first person ever to be successfully treated with personalized gene editing therapy. Researchers corrected a specific gene mutation in baby KJ Muldoon‘s liver ...

A gene drive has successfully caused the collapse of a malaria-carrying mosquito population in the lab, researches report today (September 24) in Nature Biotechnology. This is the first time a gene ...
