CRISPR is a powerful gene-editing tool that can be used in every field--from medicine to agriculture. But what exactly is this technique and how does it work? 

The Age of Gene Editing: Everything You Need To Know About CRISPR/Cas9

Scientists are currently developing methods to combine the best of both technologies, allowing them to grow organoid not only from naturally-occurring cells, but also from gene edited cells. In essence, the researchers are growing mini organs from cells that have been genetically-manipulated.

Scientists Grow Mini-Organs From Cells That Were Genetically Manipulated

Cells that have been genetically-manipulated and now be grown into mini-organs, thanks to CRISPR.

New plants, like a mushroom altered with CRISPR gene-editing, are falling outside the purview of regulators And the next generation of GMOs might not only be unlabeled—they might be unregulated.

GMO Mushroom Doesn’t Need to be Regulated, Thanks to CRISPR Gene Editing

Even with regulation standards, some GMOs make it to market without approval. And that's on the rise. 

Pigs that are Resistant to Incurable Disease Developed at University of Missouri

Researchers genetically modify piglets to be resistant to an incurable disease plaguing hog farms, Porcine Reproductive Respiratory Syndrome (PRSS). The researchers cut out a specific gene to cure the pigs. 

Genetic Engineering Creates Piglets That Are Immune to Deadly Disease

Scientists have genetically engineered pigs to be resistant to a devastating disease.

Scientists have long tried to find ways to target RNA. By applying the popular DNA-editing technique CRISPR-Cas9 to RNA, they were able to do just that: Track the movement of RNA inside a cell.
