Researchers funded by the U.S. Navy have used gene-editing technology to make house spiders produce red fluorescent silk. This might seem like a quirky scientific novelty, but the breakthrough is a ...

Researchers have, for the first time ever, used CRISPR gene editing on spiders. While the genetically-modified critters lack the ability to give you spidey senses, they do spin glowing silk. In a ...

CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...

Gene editing is growing up. Ten years after Science magazine named CRISPR its 2015 “Breakthrough of the Year,” this revolutionary gene editing technology has become a workhorse of modern biology. In ...

If the first CRISPR decade was marked by a mad dash to evolve, engineer, and mine the bacterial universe for more and better genome-editing enzymes, so far the second seems to be all about three words ...

The gene-editing technique known as CRISPR is promising to revolutionize medicine. Some researchers are trying to help make it available for people with very rare genetic disorders. A gene-editing ...
