As gene editing technologies improve, a new biosensor has been produced to show the activity of the most prolific one yet, CRISPR.

Antibiotic resistance is a massive issue facing humanity right now, but new research is uncovering ways we can use to combat it.

Researchers can now design and mass-produce genetic material — a technique that helped build the mRNA vaccines. What could it give us next?

Blending experts from molecular genetics, chemistry and health sciences, researchers at the University of California San Diego have created a rapid diagnostic technology that detects SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

The muscle wasting disease that has debilitated Sharif Tabebordbar’s father motivated a life in science that led to an important medical discovery.

Most people are familiar with the term genetically modified foods (GM foods or GMOs), but not so with “gene-edited food.”

Scientists at Princeton and MIT, including gene-editing pioneer David Liu, used a new screening method called Repair-seq to identify pathways that affect different outcomes in CRISPR/Cas9, prime editing and base editing. The findings could help design more accurate and efficient gene-editing systems, they say.

Genome editing could make food crops fit for the future - more resilient and immune to pathogens. How safe is it to manipulate plant genes with the CRISPR tool? Also in Tomorrow Today: Fighting polar bear boredom. And: can cloning preserve species?

For the last seven years, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University have been developing and refining CRISPR-based gene-editing technology for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) infection.

Zebrafish- small, fast-growing creatures who share many of the same genes as humans- are instrumental to many biologists, who find them uniquely well suited for studying a wide range of questions, from how organisms develop to how the nervous system drives behavior.
