CRISPR leaders came together to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Danaher-IGI Beacon for CRISPR Cures collaboration, hosted at the IGI in Berkeley.

CRISPR technology has revolutionised genetic engineering, offering unprecedented precision in DNA editing with vast implications for medicine, agriculture and conservation. Yet, its power demands ...

Scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage invaders -- by seizing genetic material from weakened, dormant phages and using it to 'vaccinate' ...

Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." ...

Bioengineering professor and The Grainger College of Engineering's Dean, Rashid Bashir, led a team of researchers in a project that's resulted in new technology that offers rapid, highly sensitive ...
