With a new refinement, researchers can use the CRISPR method to edit multiple genes at once, rather than just a few at a time.

"Optogenomics" could one day offer the ability to manipulate our genomes, potentially upending treatment for cancer and other diseases.

Researchers report progress toward using CRISPR-Cas9 to repair the mutation that causes sickle cell disease.

If people knew more about the science of genetically modified food, they'd be more likely to eat it, researchers report.

The EU is really strict about genetically modified crops, but do the arguments about risk and unnaturalness hold water? A new paper says no.

Wild tomatoes have evolved to ward off insects. Their tricks could lead to pest-resistant varieites of the ones we eat.

"We wanted to know if this could work at all. The trick was how to direct the gene-editing machinery to target cells that line the airways of the lungs."

Researchers created a biological dual-core processor, similar to those in the digital world, by integrating two cores into a cell with CRISPR.

Adding a tail to the RNA scientists use in CRISPR could make genetic engineering much more accurate.
