Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date 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 ...
Banas is associate director of research at the Gene Editing Institute at ChristianaCare, where Kmiec is founder and executive director. The medical promise of CRISPR gene editing can be seen most ...
The CRISPR entry notes both its original function, as an immune defense in bacteria and archaea, and its recent adoption as a gene editing tool. The latter part of the definition raised eyebrows for ...
Editing DNA with the same ease as spell-checking a Word document is a scientific holy grail. It would allow debilitating and deadly genetic diseases to not only be treated, but cured. The US Food and ...
The codebreaking works like this. The GenomePAM method maps CRISPR's passwords directly in human cells. Instead of relying on artificial systems that are often limited (e.g., testing 1 to 3 sequences ...
The world's first patient to be treated with personalized gene editing therapy is finally headed home after over 300 days in the hospital. Nine-month-old KJ Muldoon recently underwent CRISPR-based ...
