CRISPR systems are powerful tools for genetic engineering, but they have their limitations. Now, scientists have discovered almost 200 new CRISPR systems in their native habitat of bacteria, and found ...

An unexpected find has enabled important progress to be made in the battle against harmful bacteria. An international team of researchers, led by Professor Peter Fineran from the University of Otago, ...

UC Davis researchers engineered wheat that encourages soil bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-usable ...

You've probably heard of CRISPR, a fairly new tool for gene editing. But how does the technology work?. | Credit: Love Employee via Getty Images CRISPR, short for CRISPR-Cas9, is a genome-editing tool ...

Researchers flip nature's script by engineering a virus to carry a CRISPR system to change a bacterium's genes. Call it a CRISPR conundrum. Bacteria use CRISPR-Cas systems as adaptive immune systems ...
