Multiple CRISPR technologies are being used to specifically alter or silence genes and inhibit protein production. One of these tools is CRISPRi (CRISPR interference) which blocks genes and gene ...

CRISPR-Cas systems, defense systems in bacteria, have become a plentiful source of technologies for molecular diagnostics. Researchers have now expanded this extensive toolbox further. Their novel ...

In recent years, the scientific community has made significant strides in the field of gene editing, particularly through the development of the CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short ...

Many foundational research technologies have transformed cellular therapies, moving treatments from concept to clinic. In the past decade, chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) and genome editing are two ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has transformed our ability to study DNA by manipulating genomic information in a programmable fashion. The RNA-targeting CRISPR effector protein Cas13 is poised to revolutionize the study ...

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, ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) report that they have developed a new tool (Cas13d-NCS) that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the cell ...

To compete at iGEM, a sort of science Olympics, teens at a Georgia high school set their sights on finding a better way to ...
