Researchers reprogrammed bacterial bridge recombinases to edit large genomic regions in mammalian cells, revealing a ...

Recent scientific advances have made genome editing technologies—a suite of biological tools for making precise additions, deletions, and alterations to the DNA and RNA of living cells– more rapid, ...

Delivering genome editing machinery into plant cells remains a challenge despite the dire need for high yield crops with enhanced nutritional value that are resistant to disease and resilient in the ...

Existing gene-editing technologies have led to significant advances in both medicine and food production. However, momentum appears to be slowing, particularly in health applications, as early hype is ...

CRISPR-Cas is used broadly in research and medicine to edit, insert, delete or regulate genes in organisms. TnpB is an ancestor of this well-known 'gene scissor' but is much smaller and thus easier to ...

A team of researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) recently won a $250,000 prize from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to improve technologies for delivering ...

When a chef develops a new recipe, they methodically add and remove individual ingredients to see how each of them alters the final dish. When scientists try to understand the role of genes in the ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...
