Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 "gene scissors" is a powerful tool for biological discovery and for identifying novel drug targets. In pooled CRISPR screens, a large number of cells are edited ...

The brain is often referred to as a "black box"—one that's difficult to peer inside and determine what's happening at any given moment. This is part of the reason why it's difficult to understand the ...

Recently, scientists have been able to explore gene circuitry in individual cells using methods that suppress particular genes and measure the impact on the expression of other genes. These methods, ...

Over the past few decades, biomedical researchers and neuroscientists have devised increasingly advanced techniques to study and alter neurophysiological processes. These include CRISPR (Clustered ...

Revvity's Dharmacon All-in-one lentiviral platform has expanded to include whole-genome library options for CRISPR knockout (CRISPRko), CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), and CRISPR activation (CRISPRa).

This article and associated images are based on a poster originally authored by Donato Tedesco, Tianbing Liu, Dongfang Hu, Nadya Isachenko, Debbie Deng, Paul Diehl and Alex Chenchik and presented at ...

Tilmann Buerckstuemmer, PhD, is a CRISPR enthusiast since the early days of CRISPR. Originally trained as a biochemist, he joined Haplogen as principal scientist and later became their CSO. Following ...

As drug discovery programs increasingly rely on human genetics to improve target selection and reduce late‑stage attrition, CRISPR screening has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for ...
