The CRISPR/Cas system works by snipping short DNA elements from the genomes of infecting viruses, integrating those elements into the bacterium’s genome (at the CRISPR locus), and using the RNAs ...

CRISPR-Cas systems have a remarkable capability to form immunological memories by integrating short segments of invading genomes, called “spacers” into the CRISPR locus in the genome of the bacterial ...

Gene editing firm CRISPR Therapeutics has announced a collaboration with US biotech Nkarta to develop natural killer (NK) cell therapies for cancer. This latest agreement follows a major deal with ...

Study: Activation of the imprinted Prader-Willi syndrome locus by CRISPR-based epigenome editing ... levels were not always ...

“Since we wanted to activate specific genes – rather than change their sequence – we inactivated the DNA-cutting function of the Cas9 protein in CRISPR and used it only to find and bind to the PWS ...
