Like base editing, prime editing offers a safer way to genome editing by relying on a nickase enzyme that “nicks” one DNA strand at a time, rather than cutting both simultaneously. Then, with the ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

While researchers have long appreciated the enormous potential of genome editing to treat disease, applications of these technologies in humans have historically been limited by safety concerns. Even ...

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

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

New study shows that in women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, their breast cells already carry a clear pattern of DNA “damage ...

Restricted access to genome-editing technologies poses serious challenges for countries like India that urgently need such ...
