Research team identify and conquer a barrier in CRISPR gene editing that may lay the foundation for sustained treatments using the technique.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a cause of serious lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients, was used as a “model system” for understanding how bacteria’s interactions with viruses may affect human health.

Detection of 'copy editing' by a stem cell enzyme called ADAR1 (active in more than 20 tumor types) may act as a molecular radar for early detection of malignancies, and represent a new therapeutic target.

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), have discovered a new mechanism controlling the expression of a set of genes important for cell proliferation and tumour progression.

Using the CRISPR gene editing tool, researchers devise a method of altering key genes that control insect sex determination and fertility.

With the latest gene-editing techniques, it could be possible, although challenging, to make a tomato produce capsaicinoids.

Identification of the recent spread of community-acquired MRSA in a Brooklyn religious enclave is helping experts better understand how certain high-risk populations can drive the evolution of antimicrobial resistance and identify steps that can be taken to curtail its spread.

A team of engineers have developed a method to use CRISPR/Cas9 technology to set off a cascade of activities in cells, a phenomenon known as conditional gene regulation.

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute discover a set of simple rules that determine the precision of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in human cells.
