Researchers have built a series of CRISPR-based platforms that can switch endogenous genes on and, just as critically, dial ...

Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the ...

During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology (BIOL), Wei Sun, a chemical biologist at ...

A graphic representation of a round, lumpy, blue protein and a single, comblike, purple strand of RNA interacting with a twisted, double, blue strand of DNA that separates where it meets the RNA. A ...

The Tas protein uses an RNA guide to recognize a specific target DNA sequence. A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and ...

When the gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 rocketed to fame more than a decade ago, it transformed biotechnology. Faster, cheaper, and safer than previous methods, the tool helped scientists gain insight ...
