We here at STAT cover CRISPR a lot. But it’s not every day we get to cover Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The Rock and the genome-editing technology meet in a new movie, “Rampage,” coming out Friday.

Laura holds a Master's in Experimental Neuroscience and a Bachelor's in Biology from Imperial College London. Her areas of expertise include health, medicine, psychology, and neuroscience. Laura holds ...

The CRISPR gene editing system originated in bacteria, and is part of a defense that bacterial cells use against viruses. In CRISPR gene editing, a guide RNA brings a genome-cutting enzyme (typically ...

Tests in animal models by researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, and at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) have shown how gene editing two targets, HIV-1 ...

Comparing the genomes of snakes with distinct coloration patterns pinpointed the genetic variants that contribute to these ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has been the household name of genetic engineering tools over the past decade, but there might be other, better ways. MIT scientists have now demonstrated an alternative called Fanzor, ...

CRISPR genome-editing technology is only five years old, but it has already made remarkable strides in biomedical, microbial, and agricultural research. CRISPR affords scientists the ability to edit ...

A team of researchers led by Feng Zhang at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT has uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in ...

Irina Polejaeva and her team use the latest techniques to bioengineer animals. With CRISPR genome editing, they make sheep with conditions that mimic human genetic diseases, and goats carrying ...

Technological advances, such as genome editing and specifically CRISPR, offer exciting promise for the creation of products that address public health concerns, such as disease transmission and a ...
