The ability to alter DNA is central to several research projects at the BSCRC — from developing treatments for muscular dystrophy to engineering crops that are more nutritious and adaptable to climate change. CRISPR is one of the tools making that possible. 💪🌱 #StemCellResearch #GeneEditing #CRISPR

Traver Hart’s team evaluated a 77,000 dual-gRNA Cas12a library on bioRxiv, revealing that dual-target locus excision operates at very low efficiency in mammalian screens due to asynchronous cleavage dynamics. 🧬🤖

#UCBerkeley researchers developed PERCEPT, using self-immolative reduction-sensitive linkers to decorate #CRISPR #RNPs with PEG, escape peptides, and targeting ligands for targeted in vivo editing across brain, retina, muscle, and lung tissues. 🧠🤖 #GeneEditing #bioRxiv2026 #PERCEPT #BaseEditing

Biotech just proved Diabetes days are numbered. 💊💉😷

Scientists just found a “gene off-switch” that makes ordinary pancreatic cells spit out insulin like tiny factories—mice diabetes basically ghosted 👻. Human trials are the next stop. #Diabetes #GeneEditing #Biotech

🍅 Japan's gene-edited GABA tomato is called the "world's first gene-edited food."

It isn't. A US soybean oil beat it in 2019.

What it can claim: the first CRISPR food on general sale. That narrower "first" explains why Japan moved early.

The UK's #ARIA has committed £54M to explore whether #geneediting, genomics, and AI can help wild species adapt faster than climate change, through 13 projects still confined to controlled research. aria.org.uk/opportunity-...

🧬 One wrong letter in one gene. That's the whole disease.

HMSN-P, found in Okinawan families in 1983, comes down to a single DNA typo. A Japan-led team just corrected it in mice and patient cells — without cutting the DNA.
