Two New Diagnostic CRISPR-Based Tools Revealed Independently
Scicasts (press release) (blog) At the core of SHERLOCK’s success is a CRISPR-associated protein called Cas13, which can be programmed to bind to a specific piece of RNA. Cas13’s target can be any genetic sequence, including viral genomes, genes that confer antibiotic resistance in … CRISPR scissors, Cas12a, enables cutting-edge diagnosticsUC Berkeley With new CRISPR inventions, its pioneers say, you ain’t seen nothin’ yetSTAT ‘Unexpected’ breakthrough caused by side-effects of CRISPR gene-editing ‘scissors’ could allow for rapid detection …Daily Mail |
