Researchers develop tool to accurately evaluate CRISPR genome editing ANI | Updated: May 24, 2021 16:31 IST Washington [US], May 24 (ANI): During a recent study, researchers from the IDC Herzliya and Bar-Ilan University developed a novel software tool to quantify potential CRISPR-induced errors. CRISPR is the technology that allows researchers to edit genomes by altering DNA sequences and by thus modifying gene function. The study was published in the journ...

Scientists Partially Restored a Blind Man’s Sight With New Gene Therapy Using a technique called optogenetics, researchers added light-sensitive proteins to the man’s retina, giving him a blurry view of objects. In an experiment, a 58-year-old volunteer with a genetic form of blindness was able to identify the position of two cups.Credit...Sahel, et al.; Nature Medicine May 24, 2021, 11:00 a.m. ET A team of scientists announced Monday that they had partially restored the sight of a blind ma...

From the “What could possibly go wrong?” and the “They didn’t listen the first time!” files comes the double-whammy news that those controversial genetically-altered mosquitoes, designed to control their populations by killing off all of the biting females while leaving the non-biting males, have been released in Florida and are mating, while scientists not waiting to see what happens are already genetically engineering armyworms to kill off all of the females and stop them from destr...

Saturday, 15 May 2021, 1:30 pm New Zealand scientists interviewed on Newshub [1] calling for loosening regulatory controls on Genetic Engineering must heed warnings from overseas, and international standards of regulation need to be strengthened against the risks of genetically engineered (GE) viruses and microbes. A new report by the Institute for Responsible Technology [2] is an alert for government regulators and scientists that GE technologies like CRISPR* of viruses and microbes urgently ...
