In a groundbreaking fusion of artificial intelligence and gene editing, researchers are leveraging machine learning to enhance CRISPR technology’s precision and efficiency. This integration is opening ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit.

In the late 2010s eight macaque monkeys were born at a laboratory in Shanghai. At first they seemed much like the other infants in the colony, but differences soon became obvious. They were much more ...

CRISPR’s promise of curing diseases hit a setback when researchers discovered that AZD7648, a molecule designed to improve precision, also caused catastrophic hidden damage to DNA. Instead of perfect ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

1. Amichai Berman (School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at Tel Aviv University), the PhD student leading the research. Researchers: “Genetic editing in crop plants is a complex process. Our ...
