Explainer: How the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool works
The 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded on Wednesday, Oct. 7 to two women who developed CRISPR/Cas9, a tool that allows scientists to cut parts of the genome like a pair of molecular scissors.

CRISPR-Cas9 Genome Editing Technology
We've learned about a few techniques in biotechnology already, but the CRISPR-Cas9 system is one of the most exciting ones. Inspired by bacterial immune response to viruses, this site-specific gene editing technique won the Nobel prize...

Introduction to Virology and Viral Classification
There are two main types of pathogens we will be focusing on in this series. The first was bacteria, and we just wrapped up a good amount of information on those. The next is viruses. These little things are much tinier than bacteria,...

Introduction to Genes and Gene Editing
All of us have a unique string of DNA that influences how we look, behave, and some of the diseases we have now or could develop in the future. But what if we could edit our genes to improve our health? Learn about how that may be...

Gene Expression Analysis and DNA Microarray Assays
If we want to understand a biological organism, we turn to the expression of its genome. Which genes are being expressed, and in which cells, and when? How does this differ between a normal cell and a cancer cell? We have incredibly...

Visualizing a Nucleosome in Virtual Reality
We've talked a lot about DNA in this series. Building off of our understanding of nucleic acids in biochemistry, we now know that DNA wraps around histones to form nucleosomes, which then supercoil to form chromatin. But what does a...
