The growing threat of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is calling upon researchers to find alternative ways to treat these infections. Cue CRISPR-Cas technology. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is ...

CRISPR claimed scientific fame for its ability to quickly and accurately edit genes. But, at the core, CRISPR systems are immune systems that help bacteria protect themselves from viruses. A new study ...

UC Davis researchers engineered wheat that encourages soil bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-usable ...

Can CRISPR—a gene editing mechanism born from a bacterium’s antiviral system—be used as an antibiotic? That’s what SNIPR Biome wants to know, and new interim data from an early phase 1 study seem to ...

Investigating small protein inhibitors of CRISPR–Cas — an adaptive immune system in bacteria — has led to the discovery of a mechanism for inhibiting a large macromolecular complex. AcrIF25, an ...

St. Georges Technical High School students using CRISPR in a Box. On Friday, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a sickle cell disease drug called Casgevy, co-developed by Vertex ...

How does the CRISPR Down Syndrome breakthrough work to remove the extra chromosome 21? We are closer than ever to a world where a genetic condition affecting one in every 700 babies could be addressed ...
