Precision gene editing can be achieved by base editing, nucleotide editing, or editing of small or large gene fragments. The specific mechanisms include various DNA repair pathways. Many precision ...

Gene editing is a group of technologies that enable scientists to precisely alter an organism's DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or alteration of genetic material at specific ...

Manipulating “thresholds” with mitochondrial gene editing tools. By focusing on the genetic roots of neurodegenerative diseases, mitochondrial DNA editing represents a shift in therapeutic strategies.

CRISPR-Cas is used broadly in research and medicine to edit, insert, delete or regulate genes in organisms. TnpB is an ancestor of this well-known "gene scissor" but is much smaller and thus easier to ...

Medically, AI is helping us with everything from identifying abnormal heart rhythms before they happen to spotting skin cancer. But do we really need it to get involved with our genome? Protein-design ...

DENVER, Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CRISPR gene-editing, and related genome engineering technologies, are reshaping industries from medicine to materials, with breakthroughs in treating genetic ...

The energy factories in our cells contain their own genes, and genetic mutations in them can cause deadly inherited diseases. These oblong-shaped organelles, or mitochondria, translate genes into ...

A schematic showing the cytosine base editing intermediate and the various outcomes that can occur when the UNG protein is active. You may have seen it in the news recently: a baby in Pennsylvania ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

Precision DNA editing gene therapy achieves deep remissions in aggressive leukemia previously considered incurable.

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...
