CRISPR scissors, Cas12a, enables cutting-edge diagnostics
UC Berkeley Cas12a, discovered in 2015 and originally called Cpf1, is like the well-known Cas9 protein that UC Berkeley's Jennifer Doudna and colleague Emmanuelle Charpentier turned into a powerful gene-editing tool in 2012. CRISPR-Cas9 has supercharged biological … With new CRISPR inventions, its pioneers say, you ain't seen nothin' yet Researchers advance CRISPR-based tool for diagnosing disease 'Unexpected' breakthrough caused by side-effects of CRISPR gene-editing 'scissors' could allow for rapid detection … |
