Now a common gene editing tool, the popularity of the CRISPR-Cas9 system has increased over the past decade. CRISPR is notable for engineering living cells, allowing scientists to edit, turn off, delete, or replace genes in a cell’s genome. Harnessing the Cellular Engineering Potential of CRISPR.

The CRISPR-Cas9 system, awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for its applications for gene editing, was initially encountered in the bacterial immune system. In an effort to defend themselves against viral infection, bacterial cells capture and copy DNA fragments of bacteriophages into their genome.

Rolf Turk , Senior Manager, Genomics Medicine at Integrated DNA Technologies, examines how CRISPR is being used to enhance cancer therapies. CRISPR diagnostics have successfully detected various pathogens, including RNA viruses (eg. parvovirus B19, Flaviviridae, Ebola, and Coronaviridae), DNA viruses (e.g.,

Kevin Hemphill, R&D Manager at PerkinElmer’s Horizon Discovery explores how base editing has emerged as an attractive gene editing option for researchers wanting to develop stem cell-based therapies. The success of base editing has led to rapid advances toward commercialisation and clinical application.

The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes. Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR. Nearly one third of human genes lack CGIs, which would limit the use of the tool.

Scientists in Israel have used the CRISPR Cas-9 gene editing system to destroy cancerous cells in mice without damaging other cells. To conduct the research, the scientists used hundreds of mice with two of the most aggressive forms of cancer: glioblastoma and metastatic ovarian cancer. Photo courtesy of Science Advances.

UCSF scientists found that having an additional copy of the sex chromosome gives women two “doses” of a gene found only on that chromosome. To further confirm these results, the scientists deleted the second X in female Alzheimer’s mice, which led them to be more cognitively impaired like males and die faster. The Active Gene.

From isolating SARS-CoV-2 in early January to sequencing its genome shortly thereafter and having a prototype vaccine against it within days, scientific process and progress have held steadfast throughout the pandemic. CRISPR Gene Editing Inventors Win Nobel Prize. The illness was later named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
