Complexities like these make it challenging to develop broadly applicable gene therapies for these disorders. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin now have developed an improved method of ...

Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St.

For the first time, scientists have found a way to efficiently and precisely remove genes from white blood cells of the immune system and to insert beneficial replacements, all in far less time than ...

"A lot of the existing gene-editing methods are restricted to one or two mutations, which leaves a lot of people behind," said Jesse Buffington, a graduate student at UT and co-author of a new paper ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...

Advanced biotechnology repurposes two bacterial immune systems to correct large stretches of DNA. Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark ...

Researchers have developed a new "color-coded" genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes. This innovation can help solve a major bottleneck in mosquito control ...

Instead of requiring personalized gene edits for each patient, the new approach could create a standardized method to use for many diseases. By Pam Belluck and Carl Zimmer Gene-editing therapies offer ...

“Thus, this new site-specific and cassette mutagenesis method is highly efficient, fast and versatile, likely resulting in its wide use for typical biomedical research, as well as for engineering and ...
