Conclusion and future remarks CRISPR/Cas9 that serves as the immune system has been used for genome engineering. Recently, the creative use of the CRISPR system has led to development of CRISPR interference (CR
Here, we look back on the historical milestones that have paved the way for the discovery of CRISPR and its function, and discuss the related technological applications that have emerged, with a focus on microbiology. Lastly, we provide a perspective on the impacts the field has had on ...
been used in a wide range of applications, including basic research, gene therapy, and agriculture [1]. However, its potential application in cancer research has attracted particular interest due to the ability to target the genetic mutations that drive the growth and spread of tumors [3]. Ther...
RNAigenome editingCRISPR/CasPlant viruses reduce crop yield and productivity causing a serious menace to food security. The plant varieties can be improved to develop resistance against viruses using transgenic approaches such as pathogen-derived resistance, RNA interference (RNAi), or advanced approach ...
CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a novel method for specific gene knockdown. The CRISPRi system uses a deactivated Cas9 nuclease (dCas9) fused to our proprietary SALL1-SDS3 repressor construct to block transcription of target genes, without cutting the DNA. CRISPRi benefits Ideal applications ...

For CRISPRa and CRISPRi applications, the CRISPR nuclease is engineered to lose its endonuclease activity, therefore should not introduce double-stranded breaks (DSBs). We will use the dead SpCas9 (dSpCas9) nuclease as an example here. Note that users don’t have to distinguish between dSpCas9...
CRISPRmod is the Dharmacon family of CRISPR activation and CRISPR interference reagents, used for targeted modulation of endogenous gene expression. In the central dogma of molecular biology, DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into protein (figure 1). Researchers can modulate gene...
CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), and when dCas9 is co-expressed with sgRNA, it can prevent formation of the transcription initiation complex and transcription extension. CRISPRi not only can effectively inhibit expression of multiple target genes inEscherichia colisimultaneously, but its effect also is ...
. CRISPR–Cas9 can edit both primary T cells and engineered T cells, including CAR-T and TCR-T, in vivo and in vitro to regulate T cell differentiation and activation states. This review first provides a comprehensive summary of the role of CRISPR–Cas9 in T cells and its applications in...
