The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Because they don’t have the option of domesticating the groundcherry over thousands of years of selective breeding, as agriculturists did with tomato plants, the researchers are using CRISPR-Cas9 gene ...

May 30, 2024 — Researchers have developed a novel version of a key CRISPR gene-editing protein ... a way to genetically engineer a type of test plant to more efficiently produce different ...

Nevertheless, the team’s analysis suggested that the CRISPR-edited wood would likely boost fiber production ... But the approach may be less convincing once the trees go outside, said Wout Boerjan, a ...

However, CRISPR has also been adapted to do other things too, such as turning genes on or off without altering their sequence. There were ways to edit the genomes of some plants and animals before ...

CRISPR Therapeutics AG is a gene editing company, which engages in the development of transformative gene-based medicines for serious diseases using its proprietary CRISPR/Cas9 platform.

Moreover, plant biologists, working with a wide variety of crops, have embarked on efforts to delete genes that attract pests. That way, by relying on biology rather than on chemicals, CRISPR ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...
