Fusobacterium nucleatum, a bacterium linked to colorectal cancer, possesses a specific gene called fadA that serves as an early diagnostic biomarker. The CRISPR/Cas12a system has demonstrated marked ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

Twisted graphene precisely aligned with gold nanodisks and coupled with CRISPR achieves attomolar detection of cancer biomarkers, revealing a new path for low light molecular diagnostics. (Nanowerk ...

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is the most common fungal pneumonia in children. But current diagnostic methods can take days an require an invasive bronchoscopy procedure. Now, a new ...

At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this mechanism, ...

A major CRISPR breakthrough came last May. Researchers at Penn Medicine and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia developed a personalized base-editing treatment in just 6 months. The treatment was ...

In 2025, CRISPR advanced gene editing with safe, effective therapies and AI tools, marking a shift towards real-world applications in medicine and agriculture.
