The research uses the CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing tool to enhance cassava’s resistance to diseases, tolerance to drought, and starch content. The study identifies and targets critical genes ...

“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 ...

They are using CRISPR-based ... with drug resistance 1. The possibilities of CRISPR screening didn’t stop there. In addition to loss-of-function screens that use Cas9 to inactivate genes ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens ... the Department of Microbiology at Illinois, leveraged the CRISPR-Cas9 system—a highly effective tool for gene editing.

Thanks to recent advances in genetics, namely the advent of gene editing technology Crispr-Cas9, the thylacine is ... Asian elephants to create a "cold-resistant elephant".

When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to a cell along with a piece of guide RNA, the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a ...

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 ...

"Our study is a first step in dramatically expanding our repertoire of effective and safe CRISPR-Cas9 enzymes. In our manuscript, we demonstrate the utility of these PAMmla-predicted enzymes to ...

Cas9, the first Cas protein repurposed for cutting DNA, introduces double-strand breaks that recruit DNA repair machinery. Despite its successes, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has several limitations, ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is not the first method available to scientists for modifying DNA; it is by far, however, the easiest to use. With CRISPR-Cas9, the crRNA/tracrRNA sequence or an artificial guide RNA ...
