CRISPR Explained: How Gene Editing Is Reshaping Medicine
CRISPR is revolutionizing medicine by enabling precise DNA edits, treating genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, and pioneering in vivo editing and personalized therapies.

Scientists Revive Dire Wolves Using Ancient DNA and Modern Gene Editing
In a landmark scientific achievement, three dire wolf pups have been born using reconstructed DNA from fossils, marking the species’ return after being extinct for over 12,000 years. Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences led the project, using gene editing to implant dire wolf traits into grey wolf embryos, which were then carried by domestic dog sur...

AI-Powered Evo-2 Model Generates DNA, Advances Genome Research
Evo-2, an AI model developed by the Arc Institute, Stanford University, and NVIDIA, has been trained on 128,000 genomes, enabling it to generate DNA sequences and predict mutations. It analyses both coding and non-coding DNA, helping researchers understand gene functions and diseases. The model has already demonstrated capabilities in designing CRI...

Bioscience Firm Colossal Says It Will Bring Back Woolly Mammoths, Other Species From Extinction Using CRISPR
A new bioscience company called Colossal is planning to bring back species, such as the woolly mammoth, back from extinction using CRISPR gene-editing technology.

2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded for CRISPR/Cas9 'Genetic Scissors'
Two women scientists - Emmanuelle Charpentier, who is French, and American Jennifer Doudna - won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for creating genetic 'scissors' that can rewrite the code of life, contributing to new cancer therapies and holding out the prospect of curing hereditary diseases.

First Gene-Edited Livestock Created That Can Serve as 'Super Surrogates'
Scientists have created first gene-edited livestock that can serve as viable "surrogate sires" – males that produce sperm carrying only the genetic traits of donor animals – an advance that they say could improve food production for a growing global population.

World 'Not Yet Ready' for Embryo Gene-Editing, Say Experts
Techniques to genetically-edit human embryos should not be used until they are proved to be reliable and safe, an international commission said Thursday, in the wake of a scandal over gene-modified babies in China two years ago.

Scientists Slam Chinese CRISPR Babies Research After Manuscript Released
The gene-editing performed on Chinese twins last year meant to immunize them against HIV may have failed in its purpose and created unintended mutations, scientists said Tuesday.

Designer Babies: Moratorium on Genome Editing Needed, Say Experts
Experts from seven countries called Wednesday for a moratorium on a kind of genetic manipulation known as germline editing.
