Cas9 is directed to its target within the DNA sequence through the use of the guide RNA. A specific sequence of DNA that is between two and five nucleotides in length must align with the 3’ end of the ...
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...
For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this ...
We performed both homology-based and GUIDE-seq nomination of candidate off-target sites, which resulted in the testing of 5002 sites from four healthy donors (not shown). We then nominated additional ...
The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...
The approved CRISPR-Cas9 gene therapy involves isolating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from SCD patients and using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to reactivate fetal hemoglobin (HbF) genes that are ...
CHICAGO – A CRISPR-Cas9-based investigational therapy was linked with a drop in serum transthyretin (TTR) levels in patients with transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), according to ...
