Profluent Announces AI Gene Editor Generator OpenCRISPR to Enable Creating Bespoke Cures for Diseases
Profluent, a California-based artificial intelligence (AI)-first protein design company, announced its AI model that can generate CRISPR-like proteins that do not occur in nature on Tuesday. CRISPR or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats is a complex containing important proteins that scientists can use for precise gene editing...

New Study Might Lead to New Therapeutic Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have used a new CRISPR technology that enables them to control these microglia cells. This, according to the team, can lead to a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team geared up to detect the genes that were responsible for specific states of the microglial activity. With this, they could switch the genes on and ...

2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded for CRISPR/Cas9 'Genetic Scissors'
Two women scientists - Emmanuelle Charpentier, who is French, and American Jennifer Doudna - won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for creating genetic 'scissors' that can rewrite the code of life, contributing to new cancer therapies and holding out the prospect of curing hereditary diseases.

For COVID-19, India's 'Feluda' Better Than Rapid Antigen Test: Scientists
More accurate than a rapid antigen test and almost as quick, India's CRISPR 'Feluda' COVID-19 test that changes colour on detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus could be a cheaper, faster and simpler alternative to an RT-PCR diagnosis, say scientists.

First Gene-Edited Livestock Created That Can Serve as 'Super Surrogates'
Scientists have created first gene-edited livestock that can serve as viable "surrogate sires" – males that produce sperm carrying only the genetic traits of donor animals – an advance that they say could improve food production for a growing global population.

World 'Not Yet Ready' for Embryo Gene-Editing, Say Experts
Techniques to genetically-edit human embryos should not be used until they are proved to be reliable and safe, an international commission said Thursday, in the wake of a scandal over gene-modified babies in China two years ago.

Scientists Slam Chinese CRISPR Babies Research After Manuscript Released
The gene-editing performed on Chinese twins last year meant to immunize them against HIV may have failed in its purpose and created unintended mutations, scientists said Tuesday.
