We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...

The EU has relaxed its rules on gene-editing. Now, only some gene-edited crops are regulated by the stringent GMO directive.

COMMENTARY: Why is this latest development generally being hailed as a scientific milestone rather than a giant ethical violation?

One of the more exciting opportunities in medical technology is using a virus to carry genetic information in the form of DNA and RNA in the cells. One of the most commonly used viruses is ...

Gene editing is the intentional modification of a genetic locus in a living cell and is used for two general applications of great importance and wide interest. One is the inactivation of genes ...

Aurora Therapeutics' first target is the rare inherited disease phenylketonuria, also known as PKU. Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013 ...

Rainbow Crops expects to announce a collaboration with a seed company on corn soon and is discussing additional partnerships ...

Gene editing of plant DNA has the potential to produce crops with increased performance and resilience, but it can take a ...

We are often confronted with a simple question, “which gene editing technique is the best?”; the simple answer is “there isn’t one”. In 2021, a year after prime editing first made its mark, we ...

Volatile macroeconomic events are magnified in life science and healthcare applications, which are capital intensive, long-term investments with associated regulatory, safety, and commercial risks.

Cardiovascular diseases could be among the world’s first medical conditions to be treated by changing a patient’s genes. If ongoing phase 3 trials succeed, gene editing will offer a novel therapy for ...
