AI-designed protein awakens silenced genes, one by one

The Pharma Data

Cas9 binds and uses RNA as an address-tag. The system allows scientists, by synthesizing a specific “address-tagRNA, to bring Cas9 to a precise location in genome and therefore cut and splice genes at specific sites. The AI-designed blocking protein was the cargo of the dCas9-RNA construct.
