To protect themselves against viral infection, bacteria often use CRISPR-Cas systems to identify and destroy an invading virus’s genetic material. But viruses aren’t helpless and can deploy ...

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system is a bacterial defense mechanism that uses RNA-guided enzymes to cut specific sequences ...

Call it a CRISPR conundrum. Bacteria use CRISPR-Cas systems as adaptive immune systems to withstand attacks from enemies like viruses. These systems have been adapted by scientists to remove or cut ...

Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Head of Biomedical Engineering Programme, Director of CUHKSZ-Boyalife Joint Laboratory of Regenerative Medicine Engineering, Team Leader of Integrated Devices and ...

RALEIGH – In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers characterize a range of molecular tools to rewrite – not just edit – large chunks of an organism’s DNA, based on CRISPR-Cas ...

The adoption of CRISPR-Cas systems in therapeutics development has led to the rapid emergence of several clinical candidates for treating rare and challenging diseases, including sickle-cell anemia, β ...

In this interview, News Medical speaks to Assistant Professor Ryan Jackson about his latest work, published in tandem Nature papers, detailing the discovery of a new CRISPR immune system. Please can ...

(a) Utilizing HCR and CRISPR-Cas12a double amplification technique, a highly sensitive apta-HCR-CRISPR method was devised for the detection of TEV protein. (b) A novel CRISPR-Cas12a/Cas13a approach, ...

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

Another potentially game-changing discovery has come out of the lab of Feng Zhang, PhD. This time, they uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in eukaryotes. Just a few months ago, the ...

Researchers flip nature's script by engineering a virus to carry a CRISPR system to change a bacterium's genes. Call it a CRISPR conundrum. Bacteria use CRISPR-Cas systems as adaptive immune systems ...
