Gene editing strategies take center stage in malaria research at MDU
MDU's Centre for Biotechnology brought leading scientists to campus to dissect how gene editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9 are reshaping malaria research and student training.
Genome Editing Tools 2 articles
Genome Editing Tools groups the molecular systems, enzymes, DNA-repair pathways and delivery approaches used to make targeted changes to genetic material. Its scope includes CRISPR nucleases, protein-engineered nucleases, guide RNAs, homology-directed repair, end joining, viral and nonviral delivery, and transposon systems. The category distinguishes the editing machinery itself from therapeutic products, while also separating DNA-targeting nucleases, RNA-targeting CRISPR systems and supporting delivery or integration technologies.
AI-designed genome editors offer new options for rice gene editing
Researchers at ICAR-Central Rice Research Institute have shown that Plant OpenCRISPR-1, an AI-designed genome editor, works as well as established systems for editing rice genes.
