Here, we walk you through everything you need to know about CRISPR-Cas9, including what it is, how it works, and what we can expect from it in the future. CRISPR-Cas9 is a new technology for ...

Newly discovered weapons of bacterial self-defense take different approaches to achieving the same goal: preventing a virus from spreading through the bacterial population.

Every living creature on Earth needs to protect itself from things that would do it harm. Bacteria are no different. And ...

CRISPR/Cas9 silences gene associated with high cholesterol Technique allowed researchers to reduce blood cholesterol levels in adult mice for six months following a single treatment Date: April 26 ...

We’re talking about an unproven gene-editing technique called CRISPR-Cas9. It sounds like science fiction – until you learn that investors like Google and Bill Gates have contributed millions ...

Schematic of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and its nanotechnology delivery methods. The CRISPR/Cas9 system can be delivered in the forms of DNA, mRNA/sgRNA, or ribonucleoprotein (RNP). The gene editing ...

Today, CRISPR/Cas9 is successfully adapted for genome editing of various organisms, offering a revolutionary technique for researchers around the world. It offers a number of advantages over other ...

CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology is widely used to to help study genes of interest and modify disease-associated genes. However, the system is associated with adverse effects, including ...

In June 2012, biochemists Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier published a paper describing how CRISPR works as a bacterial immune system. They revealed that Cas9, short for CRISPR ...

Since it burst onto the scene a decade ago, CRISPR-Cas9 has shaken the field of genetics to its core. Offering a new genomic editing tool that’s faster, cheaper and more accurate than previous ...

Subsequently, DNA repair pathways like non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair bring the Cas9 and sgRNA together to ultimately modify the genome. The incorporation of CRISPR ...

When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to a cell along with a piece of guide RNA, the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a ...
