CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology is widely used to to help study genes of interest and modify disease-associated genes. However, the system is associated with adverse effects, including mutations ...

New Early Access Express License provides streamlined, affordable access to foundational CRISPR/Cas9 intellectual property to ...

CRISPR–Cas9 has limitations. One of the most concerning, in regards to using genome editing for therapeutic applications for humans, is off-target DNA cleavage. Although some Cas9 variants have been ...

The CRISPR system, which involves a Cas enzyme to cut DNA, is a powerful tool for gene editing. But the genetic scissors sometimes make changes at the wrong place, creating a major safety problem that ...

In a series of experiments with laboratory-cultured bacteria, Johns Hopkins scientists have found evidence that there is a second role for the widely used gene-cutting system CRISPR-Cas9—as a genetic ...

Groundbreaking clinical trials that could result in powerful new CRISPR treatments against HIV, genetic blindness, and other conditions are now underway, but some concerns around safety remain. One ...
