Some bacteria use CRISPR-like tools to switch genes on
Researchers have found that certain bacteria carry a naturally occurring system, built from repurposed CRISPR components, ...
During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology (BIOL), Wei Sun, a chemical biologist at ...
Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...
At the heart of this technology is the Cas9 protein, often likened to molecular scissors, capable of cutting strands of DNA at specific locations dictated by a single guide RNA. With this mechanism, ...
Bacteria and their viruses, known as phages, are locked in an age-old arms race. To defend against phage attacks, bacteria have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recognize and counteract invading ...
CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR RNA-guided cleavage. Type V CRISPR-Cas (Cas12) systems, in particular, ...
