Use of “Genetic Scissors” Carries Risks

The study provides valuable insights for the development of gene-editing therapies

07-Nov-2024 - The CRISPR molecular scissors have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. This is because they can be used to correct specific defective sections of the genome. Unfortunately, however, there is a catch: under certain conditions, the repair can lead to new genetic ...

Compact “gene scissor” enables effective genome editing

Much smaller genome editing tool

25-Sep-2024 - CRISPR-Cas is used broadly in research and medicine to edit, insert, delete or regulate genes in organisms. TnpB is an ancestor of this well-known “gene scissor” but is much smaller and thus easier to transport into cells. Using protein engineering and AI algorithms, UZH researchers have now ...

Large-scale mapping of pig genes could pave the way for new human medicines

Researchers have carried out complex genetic analyses of hundreds of pigs and humans to identify differences and similarities

12-Jan-2024 - It may sound strange, but we can actually learn more about ourselves by studying pigs. Pigs and humans are pretty similar. Our organs, our skin and the way many diseases develop are largely the same. Pigs have therefore long been used to develop and test new medicines, even though pigs are ...
