Rolf Turk , Senior Manager, Genomics Medicine at Integrated DNA Technologies, examines how CRISPR is being used to enhance cancer therapies. While type II (Cas9) is mainly used for gene-editing applications, CRISPR detecting tools primarily rely on type V (Cas12) and type VI (Cas13) collateral activity.

A downstream approach has traditionally been used by scientists to map networks, wherein a gene for a protein is removed one at a time and the impact on the immune cell’s function is observed. CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing was used to simultaneously perturb thousands of genes by targeting specific points of genetic code.

One area of the gene therapy space that could become a major treatment modality is CRISPR technology. The key to why this technology could become central to gene editing is due to the specificity with which it can edit DNA and that it is also a relatively cheap process, compared with existing technologies.
