With the first medical therapy approved and systems like CRISPR-Cas showing up in complex cells, there’s a lot happening in the genome editing field. By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published Jan 26, ...
Bacteria-attacking viruses, known as bacteriophages, use small RNAs to disarm the CRISPR-Cas immune systems of bacteria. This discovery has now been documented by researchers at the University of ...
Researchers engineered and screened dozens of base editors to precisely target a single mutation without editing other portions of the DNA.
CHICAGO, IL—A novel CRISPR/Cas-9-based gene-editing technique seems to safely diminish the production of a protein linked to worsening outcomes in patients with transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis ...
Scientists introduced CRISPR to the world as a gene-editing tool in summer 2012, when landmark papers from two independent groups demonstrated how the system could be wielded to make cuts in DNA. Now, ...
The cryogenic electron microscope structure of the A4p-activated (green) CalpL protein filament (violet) from Candidatus Cloacimonas acidaminovorans (PDB ID: 9EYJ). CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect ...
At the heart of every CRISPR reaction, whether naturally occurring in bacteria or harnessed by CRIPSR-Cas gene editing technology, is a strong molecular bond of a Cas protein via a guide RNA to its ...
A team led by investigators has overcome a major constraint for cutting and editing DNA by CRISPR-Cas enzymes and other technologies. A team led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH ...
