We've long assumed our species evolved from a tidy, single stream of ancestors. But life on Earth is never quite so straightforward, especially not when it comes to the most socially complex species ...

To make a gene-editing tool more precise and easier to control, engineers split it into two pieces that only come back together when a third molecule is added. To make a gene-editing tool more precise ...

A group of engineers at Rice University has devised a novel approach to enhance the precision and control of a gene-editing tool. This innovative method involves splitting the tool into two components ...

Researchers have found that splitting the gene editor used in traditional CRISPR technology creates a more precise tool that can be switched on and off, with significantly less chance of causing ...

One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. Researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without ...

HOUSTON – (Sept. 21, 2023) – To make a gene-editing tool more precise and easier to control, Rice University engineers split it into two pieces that only come back together when a third small molecule ...
