(This is a primitive form of immune memory for the bacteria, and is the basis of the CRISPR–Cas9 genome-editing technique.) ...

CRISPR-Cas9 can elegantly and precisely cut away any desired region of DNA and has long been compared to a type of genetic scissors.

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

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 ...

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

"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 ...

The manuscript explores how bacterial evolution in the presence of lytic phages modulates b-lactams resistance and virulence properties in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The work ...

Labroots invites you to the 7th Annual Event in the CRISPR Virtual Event Series 2024 taking place on October 23rd, 2024! This event will continue the conversation of the abilities of CRISPR-based ...
