CRISPR is already known for its power as a gene-editing tool that could one day transform how we fight cancer and other life-threatening diseases. But CRISPR’s potential is broader than that — ...
Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.
When I met the cyborg Neil Harbisson, in Barcelona, ...
Scientists are pushing for a relaxation of the laws surrounding gene editing technology to allow experiments to be performed on human embryos.
But they warn any such research would need ...
The woolly mammoth has been extinct for more than 4000 years. Now scientists are talking about bringing it back with the help of a powerful gene-editing technique called CRISPR-Cas9.
But CRISPR's promise ...
The genetic engineering start-up Synthego may have been founded by two brothers with no formal background in the field. But it has won support from investors who now include ...
Two years ago, Jennifer Doudna, a Berkeley biochemist, won a $3 million prize for her role in discovering a breakthrough way to use the gene-editing tool CRISPR to alter ...
