The results of this work reveal how an alternative splicing mechanism regulates an essential factor for neuronal identity.

Like humans, bacteria can be attacked by viruses. In the case of bacteria, these viral attackers are referred to as ...

a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, providing insights into its DNA recognition and cleavage mechanisms. The study, published in Nature Communications, was conducted by researchers from ...

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 ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

one of the most complex and understudied CRISPR-Cas types. We have previously demonstrated that this system is capable of acquiring new spacers by two distinct modes—one arising from transcribed ...

Suffering on such an immense scale can appear hopeless. However, a technique called CRISPR gene editing promises to help deal with these issues and many more—and wise regulation can spur it on.

Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ... Dec. 13, 2024 — Microorganisms produce a wide variety of natural products that can be ...
