Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

The genetic modification therapy market presents key opportunities in developing specialized treatments for rare, inherited, ...

A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

The prime editor is a fusion protein consisting of a catalytically impaired Cas9 nickase (Cas9n) and an engineered reverse transcriptase (RT). The Cas9n is guided by a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) ...

"Wider, appropriate and long-term application of genetic improvement in aquaculture, with a focus on selective breeding, will help boost food production to meet a projected increase in demand for fish ...

Genetic regulation of glucose homeostasis is central to the maintenance of human health and the prevention of metabolic disorders such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Recent advances in molecular ...

It’s one small step for mice, one giant leap for mammoth-kind. Scientists endeavoring to “de-extinct” woolly mammoths through genetic modification have taken a meaningful step toward achieving their ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems. The study, published online in Cell on August ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

Can gene editing truly support smallholder farmers and help Indonesia achieve food sovereignty, or will it simply revive the ...
