For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this ...
In a major development, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool has been successfully used in spiders for the first time, resulting in the production of red fluorescent silk. Spider silk is an amazing ...
Continuing the scientific theme of adding fluorescent proteins to everything that moves, this time spiders found themselves at the pointy end of the CRISPR-Cas9 injection needle. In a study by ...
