(a) Utilizing HCR and CRISPR-Cas12a double amplification technique, a highly sensitive apta-HCR-CRISPR method was devised for the detection of TEV protein. (b) A novel CRISPR-Cas12a/Cas13a approach, ...

Scientists have revealed how Fanzor2's divergence from bacterial ancestors may make it a useful tool for future genomic engineering endeavors. A revolution in biomedicine is currently underway, driven ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses thwart invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens’ DNA and chop it up to ...

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 ...

In the second new research review on this subject, Assistant Prof. Ibrahim Bitar, Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Plzen, Charles University in Prague, Plzen, ...

The rapid spread of animal diseases and pathogen evolution have long posed significant threats to the healthy development of ...

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 ...

Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism. Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive disorder involving amyloid ...

Scientists are testing CRISPR gene editing as a potential HIV cure after successfully removing the virus from infected cells in lab studies. Here’s what the research means and what comes next.
