To defend themselves, bacteria cut and break the DNA of invading viruses. When they survive a viral infection, they keep a part of the viral DNA as a way of building a record of past culprits. This “DNA souvenir” is stored in the bacterial genome spacers between the CRISPR sequence re...
Novel Applications of CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing Technology What is CRISPR? Oct. 16, 2017 When a virus infects a bacterium, it injects its viral DNA through the bacterial cell wall (1) and into the nucleus where it becomes integrated into the host's genome (2). From there, the viral...
CRISPR. What is it? And why is the scientific community so fascinated by the potential applications of this gene-editing technology? Starting with its definition, we explain how this technology harnesses an ancient bacteria-based defense system — and how it will impact the world around us today...
whereby a simple exchange of the RNA guide sequence can be employed to re-engineer nuclease specificity, leading to a revolution in the life sciences. Cas9, belonging to Class 2 Type II CRISPR-Cas interference system, is the more extensively used tool for genome...
It was not until the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 in 2013 that genome editing truly took off. Today, the technology has been adopted by thousands of academic laboratories across the world, which in turn is driving and will continue to drive tremendous growth in the field. Further advancements in ...
A double-edged sword: CRISPR-Cas9 is emerging as a revolutionary technique for genome editing. In May 2015, Professor Xiao Yang authored a review on the development of CRISPR-Cas9 techniques in the journal of Military Medical Research. This review pr... Chun-Xiao,Li,Hai-Li,... - 《军事医...
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. After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA...

So how does gene editing apply in agriculture, and what does the European Court of Justice ruling mean? What is Crispr and why is it useful in agriculture? Crispr (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is a very precise tool to edit DNA using an enzyme known as Crispr C...
