CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology has emerged as one of the most transformative advancements in medicine and biotechnology.

Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But ...

It also raises the question of whether bacteria have more important defense systems than CRISPR. "This finding ... RNA that ...

CRISPR-Cas9 burst onto the broader scientific ... Rodolphe Barrangou of NC State characterized CRISPR as a defense system in bacteria used in dairy starter cultures. Since then, his laboratory ...

“We believe this is the reason why the CRISPR Cas9 system has ... one of the first lines of defense against the transfer of hazardous genes from phages that turn bacterial cells toxic ...

CRISPR-Cas9 revolutionized biology and healthcare. It hijacks the bacterial immune defense system to precisely edit a genome. But the method isn’t perfect. It can insert unwanted DNA sequences, delete ...

"We believe this is the reason why the CRISPR Cas9 system has ... one of the first lines of defense against the transfer of hazardous genes from phages that turn bacterial cells toxic," says ...

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...
