Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But ...

A prime example of this ongoing battle is the CRISPR-Cas defense system in bacteria, countered by anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) ...

In food crops, methods that introduce genes for desirable traits from other species have seen more opposition than techniques ...

A longstanding mystery in Parkinson's disease research has been why some individuals carrying pathogenic variants that increase their risk of PD go on to develop the disease, while others who also ...

“Instead, we used a genome-wide CRISPR interference screen to silence each of the protein-coding human genes in cells and identified those important for PD pathogenesis.” The study discovered that a ...

Qi had a flash: Instead of using the Cas protein in the CRISPR system to cut DNA to fix a genetic disease, what if you used Cas to find the DNA but then used another molecule to replace the ...

Gene editing technologies have cemented their place as a valued method in the biological toolkit used by researchers around the globe.

In CRISPR/Cas-based diagnostic tests ... One unit contains a guide RNA specific for a pathogen nucleic acid of choice and a Cas protein. When the Cas cleaves specially engineered nucleic acids ...

Another company looking to initiate clinical trials with an epigenetic-editor-based treatment for hepatitis is nChroma Bio.

Free admission - doors open at 7:00 p.m. Fundamental research to understand how bacteria fight viral infections uncovered the function of CRISPR-Cas programmable proteins that detect and cut specific ...
