The onset and aggressiveness of cancer are related to the abnormal behavior of certain genes, known as oncogenes. The best-known of these alterations is mutation, but it is not the only one. Sometimes ...
CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...
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 ...
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 ...
Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...
