A study from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) has found a genetic cause for a rare disease that causes […]

Studies find CRISPR gene-editing of human embryos give rise to unwanted results.

CRISPR gene-editing is a technique that allows the genomes of living organisms to be modified. Naturally, this has been looked […]

First Point-of-Care Test for COVID-19 using CRISPR announced

Binx Health and Sherlock Biosciences have announced a partnership to develop the world’s first point-of-care diagnostic test for COVID-19 using […]

Webinar: Capture the dark genome – From repeat-expansions to CRISPR unintended mutations

Sequenced genomes retain a surprisingly large number of “dark” regions – sections that have proven difficult to characterise via short-read […]

Base editing outcomes predicted by machine learning model

Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) are implicated in about half of all genetic diseases and so, accurately targeting and editing these […]

Single-cell copy number profiling unveils the genetic diversity of cancer

The genetic information of a cancerous tumour is typically obtained by sequencing the tumour cells together, rather than analysing them […]
