Within the last decade, scientists have adapted CRISPR systems from microbes into gene editing technology, a precise and programmable system for modifying DNA. Now, scientists at MIT's McGovern ...
The technology for CRISPR originated in a bacterial immune defense system. Now, the team of one of the researchers who helped pioneer the CRISPR technology, Dr. Feng Zhang, has identified a new type ...
To many working biologists, DNA-modifying enzymes are tools, not unlike a pair of molecule-sized scissors. To Dr. Barry Stoddard, a professor in the Basic Sciences division at Fred Hutch, these ...
