The goal of gene therapy is to permanently cure hereditary diseases. One of the most promising technologies for this is the ...

To protect themselves against viral infection, bacteria often use CRISPR-Cas systems to identify and destroy an invading virus’s genetic material. But viruses aren’t helpless and can deploy ...

The recent publication in Science by Mogila, Tamulaitiene et al. represents a continuation of the successful scientific research conducted by Gintautas Tamulaitis' group. In this study, the Vilnius ...

Some viruses, known as bacteriophages, only infect bacterial cells, often destroying those bacteria in the process.

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system is a bacterial defense mechanism that uses RNA-guided enzymes to cut specific sequences ...

Overview of CRISPR/Cas system-based tumor molecular diagnostic strategies, including variant gene, protein, and liquid biopsy marker assays and in situ molecular analysis. The CRISPR/Cas system, known ...

A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. A microscopic discovery will ...

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...

The cryogenic electron microscope structure of the A4p-activated (green) CalpL protein filament (violet) from Candidatus Cloacimonas acidaminovorans (PDB ID: 9EYJ). CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect ...

A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. An international team of ...

One of the most revolutionary tools in cutting-edge medicine is a molecular scalpel so precise that it can modify defective ...
