Scientific and public uproar resulted when the Chinese scientist announced the births of the first human babies with heritable edits to their genes. A new documentary reexamines the saga.

Known as PASTE, the technique holds potential for treating a variety of diseases caused by faulty genes.

Researchers harness new pooled, image-based screening method to probe the functions of over 5,000 essential genes in human cells.

Researchers have developed a technique that could help fine-tune the production of monoclonal antibodies and other useful proteins.

Study finds the protein MTCH2 is responsible for shuttling various other proteins into the membrane of mitochondria. The finding could have implications for cancer treatments and MTCH2-linked conditions.

Jonathan Weissman and collaborators used their single-cell sequencing tool Perturb-seq on every expressed gene in the human genome, linking each to its job in the cell.

As genetic engineering and DNA manipulation tools like CRISPR continue to advance, the distinction between what science ‘could’ and ‘should’ do becomes murkier.

MIT neuroscientists expand CRISPR toolkit with new, compact Cas7-11 enzyme.
