An R75W mutation in the gap junction β2 (GJB2) gene causes severe fragmentation of gap junction plaques, connecting adjacent ...

"This is conceptually similar to a vaccine with an attenuated virus," says Nicholas Keith, a graduate student and first ...

“The study is a proof of concept that CRISPR/Cas9 can be used to destroy DNA viruses and block viral infection and disease progression,” said Yinong Yang, who studies molecular plant-microbe ...

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

1 The key component of the CRISPR system includes the Cas9 protein, which is found in bacteria where it defends against viruses. The Cas9 protein can be easily programmed to identify and bind to ...

where they help defend against viruses. The Cas9 protein is the most widely used by scientists. This protein can easily be programmed to find and bind to almost any desired target sequence ...

"This is conceptually similar to a vaccine with an attenuated virus," says Nicholas Keith, a graduate student and first author of the paper. "We believe this is the reason why the CRISPR Cas9 ...
