A research team headed by the University of Zurich has developed a powerful new method to precisely edit DNA by combining cutting-edge genetic engineering with artificial intelligence. This technique ...

The method developed at UT inserts the new DNA into about 30% of the targeted cells, and the researchers see potential for improving this editing efficiency even further. Another benefit of the new ...

Other researchers have used retrons for gene editing in mammalian cells, but these methods were highly inefficient. The best version could only insert new DNA into the genomes of about 1.5% of the ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems. The study, published online in Cell on August ...

A group of Chinese scientists has created powerful new tools that allow them to edit large chunks of DNA with incredible accuracy—and without leaving any trace. Using a mix of advanced protein design, ...

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 ...

Other researchers have used retrons for gene editing in mammalian cells, but these methods were highly inefficient. The best version could only insert new DNA into the genomes of about 1.5% of the ...

A new gene editor takes advantage of CRISPR-associated proteins to insert whole genes into the genome, scientists report. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

“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 ...
