Research reveals structure of key CRISPR complex
Work reveals how a genome-editing tool works to correct errors in the genetic code.
Controlling genes with light
New technique can rapidly turn genes on and off, helping scientists better understand their function.
Research update: Genome editing becomes more accurate
Improved technique makes it easier to add or delete genes in living cells, with less risk of off-target DNA damage.
Editing the genome with high precision
New method allows scientists to insert multiple genes in specific locations, delete defective genes.
Teaching a microbe to make fuel
Genetically modified organism could turn carbon dioxide or waste products into a gasoline-compatible transportation fuel.
