In the CRISPR toolkit, Cas12a2 is like a Swiss Army Knife—one tool that can do multiple things. The nuclease performs RNA-guided, sequence-nonspecific degradation of single-stranded RNA, ...

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

In a rare feat, Utah State University biochemists Thomson Hallmark and Ryan Jackson, along with collaborators, published not one, but two seminal papers in a top-tier, peer-reviewed journal this week.

The cryogenic electron microscope structure of the A4p-activated (green) CalpL protein filament (violet) from Candidatus Cloacimonas acidaminovorans (PDB ID: 9EYJ). CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect ...

LOGAN, UTAH, USA -- In a rare feat, Utah State University biochemists Thomson Hallmark and Ryan Jackson, along with collaborators, published not one, but two seminal papers in a top-tier, ...

The gene-editing technique known as CRISPR is promising to revolutionize medicine. Some researchers are trying to help make it available for people with very rare genetic disorders. A gene-editing ...

Researchers used CRISPR to change the number of chromosomes in Arabidopsis by fusing chromosome arms, reducing the genome ...
