CRISPR’s promise of curing diseases hit a setback when researchers discovered that AZD7648, a molecule designed to improve precision, also caused catastrophic hidden damage to DNA. Instead of perfect ...

Bifidobacterium, it turns out, has an abundance of native CRISPR-Cas systems, and one of them is a relatively understudied type I-G system. In separate experiments, the researchers used this internal ...

“A lot of work has gone into making CRISPR/Cas systems more specific,” said Basil Hubbard, principal investigator on the research who is an associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology in U of T ...

In 2011, biochemist Jennifer Doudna helped discover the genetic editing tool CRISPR. Today CRISPR is actively deployed in clinical trials with the potential to cure disease—and alter human evolution.

Science and medicine are incredibly amazing. Thanks to modern science and medicine, we now have lifespans far beyond our Dark Age predecessors, living until ripe old age and enjoying the fruits of our ...

“It’s a little scary, quite honestly,” says Dr. Jennifer Doudna, who helped develop CRISPR gene-editing technology. By David Marchese It’s entirely possible, maybe even likely, that during some slow ...
