CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary gene-editing tool, but it’s not without its downsides. Now, scientists at Harvard have demonstrated an alternative genetic engineering system called Retron Library ...

Researchers in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the Biological Research Center in Szeged, Hungary, say they have developed a new genetic engineering technique that promises ...

Retron-based genome editing has been inviting comparisons with CRISPR-based genome editing, especially since researchers have learned that retrons, like CRISPR systems, function as a sort of immune ...

Could a new technique – Retron Library Recombineering – consign CRISPR to the history books? No regular BioTechniques reader will be unfamiliar with both the promise and challenges posed by CRISPR.

COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y. (Tues., Sept. 1, 2009) – Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an invaluable method for studying the interactions between proteins and DNA on a genome-wide scale. ChIP can ...
