Researchers at Utah State University have reported a previously unrecognised CRISPR immune response in which a bacterial ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Multiple CRISPR technologies are being used to specifically alter or silence genes and inhibit protein production. One of these tools is CRISPRi (CRISPR interference) which blocks genes and gene ...

Guides typically assist tourists with directions, but the experience could be greatly enhanced if they offered personalized services tailored to individual interests. Recently, researchers have ...

RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins. But new research led by Utrecht University scientist Jack Li shows that RNA ...

An ancient RNA-guided system with potential to expand gene-editing capabilities has been identified. Researchers at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (both MA, USA) ...

A powerful form of DNA-editing machinery discovered in bacteria might allow us to make much bigger changes to genomes than is currently possible with CRISPR-based techniques. However, it isn’t yet ...
