CRISPR makes altering DNA easier than ever before. Is it the future of genetics?

One of this year's Big Ideas is CRISPR.

The researcher He Jiankui was jailed for using CRISPR to create customized babies. Some observers say that the real problem was the lure of the technology, Dana Goodyear writes.

Health care stocks disruptor alert: Genomics stocks will disrupt Big Pharma in the same way Netflix killed Blockbuster video.

David Liu's team at the Broad Institute has achieved a major milestone in gene editing, creating a system that could treat a wide range of genetic disorders by inserting healthy genes directly into their native locations

"Gene-editing is a technique to manipulate an organism's genome or gene or DNA sequence which might be insertion or deletion. CRISPR-CAS9 system is one of the popular gene-editing techniques so far."

New gene therapy breakthrough from the University of Hawai'i offers safer, efficient treatments for genetic disorders like Hemophilia.

Gene editing is a powerful method for both research and therapy. Since the advent of the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a quick and accurate tool for genome editing discovered in 2012, scientists have been working to explore its capabilities and boost its performance.
