Researchers identified hundreds of anti-CRISPR proteins in human gut phages, including a new dual-function family that blocks ...

Bacterial immune systems protect against viral invaders called phages by precisely targeting specific phage genetic sequences ...

In the human gut, trillions of bacteria and their viral predators—phages—are locked in an ancient arms race. Bacteria deploy CRISPR-Cas immune systems to snip phage DNA, while phages counter with anti ...

Researchers have engineered a new class of adenine base editors that reduce unwanted bystander mutations by two to three ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have engineered chromosome-free bacterial particles called SimCells that killed more ...

CRISPR Therapeutics' lone approved product isn't generating much revenue yet. The company has made little clinical progress elsewhere in recent years. Though there are risks, if CRISPR Therapeutics' ...

Biotechnology startup CRISPR Therapeutics is issuing debt to continue developing its drug portfolio and pipeline. This new debt and/or the shareholder dilution it may lead to, however, will likely be ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Bacteriophages, viruses that specifically infect bacteria, have emerged as significant influencers in the field of microbial fermentation. Their presence in ...
