A new light-based sensor detects cancer markers at near-zero concentrations.

Crispr’s ability to cut genetic code like scissors has just started to turn into medicines. Now, gene editing pioneer ...

Site-specific recombinases enable efficient cutting and pasting of DNA at specific locations in the genome, where each recombinase recognizes one precise DNA sequence. Due to their ...

At the end of 2023, the FDA approved Casgevy for sickle cell disease, its first approval for a therapeutic that used the genome editing tool clustered regulatory interspaced palindromic repeats ...

NASA astronaut Nick Hague runs an analysis with the miniPCR hardware for Genes in Space-6 during Expedition 59. This experiment explored how space radiation damages DNA and how cells repair that ...

Against this backdrop, a team led by Professor Zhang Han and Associate Professor Chen Zhi from Shenzhen University in China , has demonstrated an innovative approach that combines DNA origami, CRISPR ...

Following on from the discovery of programmable DNA-cutting enzymes known as Fanzors, scientists have found that a diverse range of species possess these genetic 'scissors', which presents a massive ...

Since the first reported cases in 1981, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected approximately 86 million people and resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people from acquired ...

A new light-based sensor can spot incredibly tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in blood, raising the possibility of earlier and simpler cancer detection. The technology merges DNA nanotechnology, ...
