Blood cancer patients with E coli infection are at risk of bacteria infecting the bloodstream. The research team has designed four bacterial viruses which use CRISPR technology to kill the unwanted bacteria precisely. The team then engineered the phages through gene editing to improve their targeting ability.

Drs Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna have won this year’s Nobel Prize for chemistry in recognition of their work on the gene-editing technology CRISPR/Cas9. Charpentier’s early work in this area led to the discovery of tracrRNA, a previously unknown molecule that defends bacteria from viruses by cleaving their DNA.

CRISPR Therapeutics is to receive a hefty $900m payment from Vertex after the companies amended a collaboration to develop, manufacture and market a gene editing therapy for sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. The post Nobel winner Charpentier’s CRISPR Therapeutics gets $900m in reworked Vertex deal appeared first on.

A naturally occurring system for tuning CRISPR-Cas9 expressing in bacteria, identified in a study published in Cell , could have implications for gene editing therapies as well. In bacteria with unaltered tracr-L, levels of CRISPR-related genes were low. The authors found that tracr-L redirects Cas9 in S.

Much of the fundamental groundwork for genetics and genomic research was laid in the 20 th century, with significant contributions from women scientists, some of whom worked during times when acceptance of female researchers was not widespread. Here is a profile of some of those brilliant women who helped shape genetics research.
