The pioneers of the CRISPR gene-editing tool won a Nobel prize in 2020, and for good reason. The breakthrough has revolutionised biology, and is also transforming medicine and farming. Now, AI company ...

Anthropic announced today that its Claude artificial intelligence (AI) system identified a previously unknown biological system in the DNA of viruses that infect bacteria. The press release is the ...

AI giant Anthropic has announced the discovery of a new enzyme system in bacterial DNA that it said could “represent a new gene editing mechanism” similar to the groundbreaking CRISPR tool. Anthropic ...

CRISPR may be a powerful technology for gene editing, but the system existed in bacteria long before scientists began using it. For billions of years, CRISPR has acted as a natural immune system in ...

Scientists have discovered a powerful gene-targeting system in viruses. Billions of years old, VIPR seems to predate CRISPR and may be even more effective. By Carl Zimmer Over the past decade, the ...

A Cleveland Clinic first-in-human clinical trial has shown that a one-time infusion of a gene-editing therapy using CRISPR-Cas9 was effective and safe in reducing LDL ("bad") cholesterol and ...

The ability to precisely adjust the expression of genes inside the human body — ramping up protective ones and tamping down harmful ones — holds enormous potential for treating and preventing disease.

Scientists have taken an important step toward a gene therapy that could one day turn off the extra genetic material that causes Down syndrome (DS). Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an ...

CRISPR Cas9 genome editing has transformed the way scientists approach gene therapy, acting like precise DNA scissors that can target and repair hereditary diseases at the genetic level. This ...
