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 Cas9 protein is the most widely used by scientists. This protein can easily be programmed to find and bind to almost any desired target sequence, simply by giving it a piece of RNA to guide it ...

For the first time, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing is used in kissing bugs in new research by an international team that includes a Penn State researcher. This opens the door to further studies on ...
