The gene-editing technique known as CRISPR is promising to revolutionize medicine. Some researchers are trying to help make it available for people with very rare genetic disorders. A gene-editing ...
Banas is associate director of research at the Gene Editing Institute at ChristianaCare, where Kmiec is founder and executive director. The medical promise of CRISPR gene editing can be seen most ...
Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...
We performed both homology-based and GUIDE-seq nomination of candidate off-target sites, which resulted in the testing of 5002 sites from four healthy donors (not shown). We then nominated additional ...
Editing DNA with the same ease as spell-checking a Word document is a scientific holy grail. It would allow debilitating and deadly genetic diseases to not only be treated, but cured. The US Food and ...
Jason Mast is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the science behind new medicines and the systems and people that decide whether that science ever reaches patients. You can reach Jason ...
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 ...
Cutting-edge gene editing technology could eradicate Down syndrome, according to Japanese scientists. Down syndrome, which causes a range of developmental differences and affects 1 in 700 newborns in ...
