Despite outrage over gene editing in China that affected the birth of twins, research is underway in the U.S. to assess the safety and effectiveness of CRISPR tools to edit genes in human embryos.
-
A scientist says he created the first genetically edited babies using CRISPR to protect them from HIV infection. The move has prompted immediate criticism as premature and reckless.
-
Last year, lawmakers legalized a medical procedure that combines DNA from three people. Now, fertility clinics can apply for a license to practice the technique "in certain, specific cases."
