Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Now, scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a powerful new CRISPR ...

With a shared purpose, we can realize the true promise of CRISPR and improve healthcare, providing hope to more patients with ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

CRISPR has revolutionized science. AI is now taking the gene editor to the next level. Despite its real-world impact, CRISPR isn’t perfect. The tool snips both strands of DNA, which can cause ...

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, ...

Active Genetics (Pro-AG) exploits a naturally created bacterial mating tunnel between cells to inactivate antibiotic resistance.

Researchers have successfully resurrected a gene that humanity lost millions of years ago. The results could change how we treat common diseases such as gout and maybe even contribute to slowing down ...

This figure illustrates the evolution of CRISPR technology from 1987 to 2019, presented in a horizontal timeline format and categorized into four generations, each denoted by a distinct color: The ...

A novel CRISPR-based technology can spread within bacterial populations to eliminate antibiotic resistance.
