There are numerous potential uses for the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors, ranging from antiviral treatments and diagnostics to the ...

Researchers have revealed new details about the CRISPR-Cas5-HNH/Cascade complex, a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health challenge, requiring early and accurate detection of resistance ...

Building a gene editor took months. With CRISPR even high-schoolers can get hold of editing systems in the time it takes to order RNA sequences online and have them shipped by FedEx. In a short while ...

In 2012 American biochemist Jennifer Doudna and her collaborator, Emmanuelle Charpentier, proposed that CRISPR – a group of genes and molecules used by bacteria to recognise and destroy viral DNA – ...

But bacteria aren’t entirely defenseless, he says. “Many bacteria develop an immune system, known as CRISPR, to defend themselves against invading viruses called phages,” says Guinn, who was selected ...
