Then CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology swept onto the ... from discovery to ‘how are we going to make therapies?’” he explained. “We were looking for new programs where we could make ...

Bacteria steal DNA from silent viruses and use it like a memory bank. That memory helps them protect future generations.

“Being RNA-guided makes [the system] relatively easy to reprogram, because we know how RNA binds to other DNA or other RNA,” senior author Feng Zhang (both institutions) explained. The team first ...
