The original CRISPR system works by recognizing a specific sequence of DNA and then cutting that portion of the DNA strand, effectively turning off the gene permanently. Unfortunately, this ...

CRISPR places an entirely new kind of power into human hands. For the first time, scientists can quickly and precisely alter, delete, and rearrange the DNA of nearly any living organism ...

Then, Crispr runs a seek-and-destroy function. After that, other molecules are dispatched to repair the gene with new, healthy DNA. And just like that, you can edit the human genome. But while ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is effective at generating small mutations by creating targeted double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) breaks that are then repaired by the cell’s non-homologous end-joining pathway.
