AI Unlocks “DNA Grammar” for Targeted Gene Editing, Enhancing Gene Therapy, and More
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory, Broad Institute, and Yale University use AI to identify DNA sequences that control gene activation in specific cells. This AI model decodes patterns in DNA regions called cis-regulatory elements (CREs), guiding synthetic DNA switches for cell-specific gene activity. Early testing in animal models showed succes...

Controversial Chinese Scientist He Jiankui Back With New Gene-Editing Proposal
He Jiankui said that this experiment would involve abnormal fertilised egg cells that are typically considered unsuitable for implantation in women.

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 ...
