This is SPARDA: A self-destruct, self-defense system in bacteria that could be a new biotech tool
A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...
Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...
Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...
A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...
Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.
Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.
Scientists have discovered a new CRISPR mechanism with precise activity, expanding the potential applications of the existing CRISPR toolbox.
Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...
