Rare genetic diseases are challenging for patients and their families—made all the more overwhelming because symptoms tend to ...

You won’t find CRISPR animals as products on supermarket shelves just yet. But some are remarkably close. In 2021, Japan approved the sale of two CRISPR-edited fish.

The CRISPR’d animals of “Rampage” also become super aggressive, and behavior might be harder to change through editing. Maybe they just ramped up testosterone production somehow?

CRISPR-Cas9 technology has been used to knock out DNA in research mice and rats, meaning the animal gene for a particular target is silenced and the defective gene for human disease is knocked in ...

In Sang’s lab, using CRISPR, the researchers are able to get their genes into chicken eggs with much higher efficiency. Using viruses, they succeed only a portion of the time, but now, with ...

Large animal models have been used to demonstrate the utility of in vivo CRISPR editing of somatic cells as a therapeutic approach, paving the path to CRISPR clinical utility. For example, in dog and ...

Jennifer Doudna, the co-developer of CRISPR, says there’s a “coming revolution” in climate-adapted crops and animals. Jennifer Doudna, one of the inventors of the breakthrough gene-editing ...

Joey Owen had never really been an animal guy. He’d studied biochemistry and then cancer genetics before bouncing his way into Van Eenennaam’s livestock lab in 2014. It was a hopeful time for ...

The FDA recently decided that simple CRISPR-induced changes in plants did not represent genetic modification. Then why do those officials feel differently about the same CRISPR-induced changes in ...

Belmonte’s exploratory research started in mice. Using Crispr, he and his team deleted the genes that allowed the animals to grow several organs, including eyes, a heart, or a pancreas.
