CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA ...

His lab is also working on the discovery and characterization of novel anti-phage defense systems—non-CRISPR fortifications in the bacterial battlement. Just as CRISPR has, these as-yet ...

Cas9, cuts any RNA or DNA it recognizes as foreign, and thereby protects bacteria from viral attacks. Another CRISPR system, one that is relatively obscure, protects bacteria in an entirely different ...

"It's a completely brand-new type of CRISPR chemistry," says co-first author Christian Baca, a TPCB graduate student in the Marraffini lab. "It's more evidence that CRISPR systems have an array of ...

Researchers discovered that the CRISPR-Cas10 system not only cuts viral DNA but also produces toxic cyclic-oligoadenylates ...

CRISPR/Cas9 Modifies Euglena to Create Potential Biofuel Source Sep. 13, 2024 — Through genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9, researchers stably create euglena mutants that can produce wax esters ...

This is a type I CRISPR effector complex CASCADE with crRNA and phage DNA. 1. If you want to use the illustration, please add caption "Animation by Visual Science and Skoltech", where the word ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.
