CRISPR controversy raises questions about gene-editing technique
The Conversation US A central promise of CRISPR-based gene editing is its ability to pinpoint particular genes. But if this technology produces dangerous side effects by creating unexpected and unwanted mutations across the genome, that could hamper or even derail many of … CRISPR stocks sank on news the gene editing tool can veer off target.

CRISPR’s Next Target: Wheat Kernels
Laboratory Equipment While we’re most enamored with CRISPR’s ability to edit human genomes, the powerful tool is not selective—it can edit other genomes as well. In one such study, researchers are using CRISPR to expand the size and weight of wheat kernels in the hope of … |
