Gene editing

One of this year's Big Ideas is CRISPR.

CRISPR makes altering DNA easier than ever before. Is it the future of genetics?

New study uses postmortem brain tissues to understand genomic differences in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The researcher He Jiankui was jailed for using CRISPR to create customized babies. Some observers say that the real problem was the lure of the technology, Dana Goodyear writes.

Molecular biologists and geneticists from Johns Hopkins identify the role of specialized RNA in repressing gene activity

In 2015, three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for decades of research into DNA—research that reinforces the idea that evolution is mythology and makes the modern evolutionary theory of abiogenesis seem more and more indefensible.

David Liu's team at the Broad Institute has achieved a major milestone in gene editing, creating a system that could treat a wide range of genetic disorders by inserting healthy genes directly into their native locations
