Aurora Therapeutics' first target is the rare inherited disease phenylketonuria, also known as PKU. Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013 ...
Crime scene DNA test results in minutes rather than weeks or months. It’s a new technology now in the hands of investigators at the King County Sheriff’s Office. It’s called the Rapid DNA machine. “It ...
A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...
