This is SPARDA: A self-destruct, self-defense system in bacteria that could be a new biotech tool
A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...
A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...
Picture CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology, as a GPS-guided scalpel: gRNA directs the Cas9 enzyme, a protein that cuts ...
Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...
Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.
