Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. This study is led by Professor Lanqin Xia (Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, China). The authors isolated a rice ...
Both CBEs and ABEs have been extensively engineered to improve their efficiency, specificity, and targeting range, enabling a wide variety of base pair conversions across the genome. Base editing can ...
CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing relies on a guide RNA that binds to a desired DNA sequence and a Cas9 enzyme that cuts both strands of DNA at that site, creating a double-strand break. Scientists edit the ...
Microbiome research has faced a hurdle from the get-go: the inability to edit the microbial genome in vivo. Until now, bacterial genomes had to be modified outside—and reintroduced into—the host ...
Gene therapy has long promised to provide a solution for genetic blood disorders, but delivering on that promise has proven complex due to challenges including difficulties delivering the editing ...
Two new studies offer more validation that prime editing and base editing have the potential to permanently fix a gene variant associated with the rare disease phenylketonuria. In two separate papers ...
A new study describes a base editing method for treating spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This supports early signs that “single-shot” treatments from clinical trials using genome editing technologies ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Juergen Eckhardt leads Bayer’s impact investment unit, Leaps by Bayer. Dr. David Liu, pictured with former lab members Holly Rees ...
