Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." ...

Yet others, called base editors, change one letter of the DNA code to another. So why do we call it CRISPR? Cas proteins are used by bacteria to destroy viral DNA. They add bits of viral DNA to ...

The blueprints for these molecules can be found in the ... CRISPR-Cas Technology: Balancing Efficiency and Safety Dec. 4, 2024 — Researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is ...

The system works by regulating the behavior of ... causing inconsistent gene expression within bacterial populations. By balancing CRISPR-Cas-mediated cutting and gene transfer, ADEPT dynamically ...

This system and its uses do not rely on Cas9 or Cas3 ... protecting technology platforms for editing prokaryotes and eukaryotes using CRISPR-Cas. SNIPR's patent filings were the first in the field to ...
