Yet others, called base editors, change one letter of the DNA code to another. So why do we call it CRISPR? Cas proteins are used by bacteria to destroy viral DNA. They add bits of viral DNA to ...

Bioengineering professor and The Grainger College of Engineering's Dean, Rashid Bashir, led a team of researchers in a ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are prokaryotic immune systems that confer resistance to foreign genetic elements such as plasmids and phages. CRISPR-Cas systems have been exploited for targeted genome editing.

The blueprints for these molecules can be found in the ... CRISPR-Cas Technology: Balancing Efficiency and Safety Dec. 4, 2024 — Researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the ...

This gene-editing tool has been adapted for molecular diagnostics, utilizing Cas proteins to detect specific nucleic acid sequences with high sensitivity. CRISPR-based platforms such as SHERLOCK ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

New CRISPR-Cas systems have been identified, enhancing the gene editing toolkit. A notable system, SubCas9, from bacteria in dairy cows, is efficient, small, and can target unique gene sequences ...
