Bonn, November 25, 2022 – For several years now, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors have been causing a sensation in science and medicine. This new tool of molecular biology has its origins in an ancient ...

As it turns out, the most powerful tool for tinkering with nature’s blueprints came from nature itself. Developed in the early 2010s, CRISPR is a technique for editing DNA with painstaking precision.

Call it a CRISPR conundrum. Bacteria use CRISPR-Cas systems as adaptive immune systems to withstand attacks from enemies like viruses. These systems have been adapted by scientists to remove or cut ...

For several years now, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors have been causing a sensation in science and medicine. This new tool of molecular biology has its origins in an ancient bacterial immune system. It ...

Immune system becomes data logger The data logger function was developed over the past few years by researchers led by Randall Platt, Professor of Biological Engineering at ETH Zurich. To do this, ...

In a series of experiments with laboratory-cultured bacteria, Johns Hopkins scientists have found evidence that there is a second role for the widely used gene-cutting system CRISPR-Cas9—as a genetic ...

A new CRISPR-Cas toolkit, dubbed "pAblo·pCasso," is set to transform the landscape of bacterial genome editing, offering unprecedented precision and flexibility in genetic engineering. The new ...

Biotech startup Ancilia Biosciences has raised $4.2 million to use the well-known gene editing tool CRISPR to develop bacterial therapeutics, the firm said Wednesday. The Washington Heights-based ...

This article was written for our sponsor, Innovation Road Trip. Eradication of certain diseases, increasing crop sizes, reducing pest populations — the current and future applications of CRISPR have ...

Researchers flip nature's script by engineering a virus to carry a CRISPR system to change a bacterium's genes. Call it a CRISPR conundrum. Bacteria use CRISPR-Cas systems as adaptive immune systems ...
