CRISPR–Cas9-based therapies are widely investigated for their clinical applications. However, there are limitations ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

On June 11, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) decision invalidating two patents owned by Agilent Technologies. The ...

When the gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 rocketed to fame more than a decade ago, it transformed biotechnology. Faster, cheaper, and safer than previous methods, the tool helped scientists gain insight ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...

DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. This is the central dogma of molecular biology – a mantra taught to every biology undergraduate student to be recalled and expanded ...
