A third lineage of mimivirus (A) was resistant to the virophage. Supposing the resistance might have roots in a CRISPR-like mechanism, Raoult’s team sequenced genomes from the three giant-virus ...

Using a new CRISPR-based methodology for modulating DNA structure to enact epigenetic control over specific genes, a team of researchers has identified a “master regulator” gene capable of improving T ...

Schmid Burgk and first author of the paper. "For a conventional CRISPR screen, it often takes months to precisely separate the cells according to their function." Another advantage of the new ...

The CRISPR screen also identified CD163 ... “If we can prevent the virus from entering a cell by disrupting this initial ...

Then Crispr came along—the elegant enzymatic apparatus ... As for delivery systems, the family of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors already provides the ability to achieve in vivo editing ...
