The last time The Lancet Microbe featured an Editorial on CRISPR was in November 2020, to mark that year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry, jointly awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A Doudna for ...
A graphic representation of a round, lumpy, blue protein and a single, comblike, purple strand of RNA interacting with a twisted, double, blue strand of DNA that separates where it meets the RNA. A ...
Most gene-editing tools are blind to context. Point them at a DNA sequence and they cut, whether that sequence sits inside a ...
Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of ...
CRISPR functions as a programmable genetic memory system derived from bacterial immune defenses against viral infections. Guide RNA allows for rapid multiplexed targeting compared to older ...
A graphic of a purple and magenta Cas9 protein, which is a somewhat round, but uneven, ball, bound to a yellow and orange ...
Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibits lipoprotein and endothelial lipases. ANGPTL3 loss-of-function genetic variants are associated with decreased levels of low-density lipoprotein ...
The CRISPR-Cas gene-editing system has long been the focus of research as a promising tool in genome editing. However, the emphasis has been on its underlying mechanisms and nucleases. In contrast, ...
