IDT Launches New CRISPR with Increased Editing Efficiency
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has launched the Alt-R™ CRISPR-Cas9 System, a genome editing tool based on the S. pyogenes CRISPR/Cas immune system. IDT has optimized CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and trans-activating CRISPR […]
CRISPR-Edited Mini-Kidneys as Disease Models
Researchers from the University of Washington have obtained mini-kidneys from CRISPR-edited human pluripotent stem cells, modified to mimick genetic diseases. The organoids work as disease models for clinical trials and […]
CRISPR/Cas9 Eliminates Viral Transmission Risk in Xenotransplants
Researchers from Harvard Medical School in Boston have successfully deactivated 62 viruses in embryo pigs. The achievement was possible thanks to the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology. The study, presented at the National Academy […]
CRISPR/CPF1: New Simpler CRISPR Protein May Cut Patent Fights Short

The Rise of CRISPR Based Startups
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology seems to be the only thing that everyone is talking about nowadays and maybe the only thing researchers want to work on. Ever since its discovery […]
CRISPR/Cas9 Successfully Modifies T Cells
Scientists from University of California San Francisco (USCF) have found an improved method to successfully edit the genome of mature human T cells. The research team introduced the editing tools Cas9 […]
New technology to make gRNA libraries for CRISPR/Cas9
A research team from University of California at Berkeley has developed a technique that makes gene editing much easier and cheaper. Rebecca Heald has directed the work that enables making […]
A New Software to Improve CRISPR/Cas9 Targeting
Scientists from Harvard and University of California have designed an online tool to optimize CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 targeting. The researchers compared genomic DNA (gDNA) and CRISPR […]
