CRISPR Made Simple — an educational guide to CRISPR for younger students and teachers. [ 70 ] CasPEDIA — a wiki-style database of the known CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins, their activity and use cases, launched in 2023 by a group of researchers at the IGI.
Doudna was introduced to CRISPR by Jillian Banfield in 2006 who had found Doudna by way of a Google search, having typed "RNAi and UC Berkeley" into her browser, and Doudna's name came up at the top of the list. [37] [38] In 2012, Doudna and her colleagues made a new discovery that reduces the time and work needed to edit genomic DNA.
In 2020, Charpentier and American biochemist Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing" (through CRISPR). This was the first science Nobel Prize ever won by two women only. [4] [5] [6]
The U.K. had already approved the CRISPR treatment, called exa-cel (brand name: Casgevy), from Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics (which was co-founded by Charpentier), to treat people ...

Zayner spent two years as a researcher at the Mountain View, California's NASA Ames Space Synthetic Biology Research Center, [2] [3] where they worked on Martian colony habitat design. While at the agency, Zayner also analyzed speech patterns in online chat, Twitter, and books, and found that language on Twitter and online chat is closer to how ...
With the help of Axiom 3 astronauts on the International Space Station, a cancer "kill switch" drug may make it to clinical trials before year's end.
CRISPR gene editing is a revolutionary technology that allows for precise, targeted modifications to the DNA of living organisms. Developed from a natural defense mechanism found in bacteria, CRISPR-Cas9 is the most commonly used system, that allows "cutting" of DNA at specific locations and either delete, modify, or insert genetic material.
