Enter the anti-CRISPR protein AcrVIB1, a promising inhibitor whose exact function has remained a mystery—until now. A research team from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research ...

In bacteriophage genomes, researchers find three anti-CRISPR proteins that naturally inhibit CRISPR-Cas9 in one bacterial species and can do the same in human cells. Notably, the work is “going ...

Enter the anti-CRISPR protein AcrVIB1, a promising inhibitor whose exact function has remained a mystery—until now. A research team from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) ...

CRISPR is like an editor that can rewrite DNA letter by letter or gene by gene, to remove harmful mutations or add protective ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

In the world of biopharmaceutical innovation, 2024 will be remembered as CRISPR’s breakout year. In the spring, five patients with sickle cell disease began treatment with Casgevy, the first FDA ...

A prime example of this ongoing battle is the CRISPR-Cas defense system in bacteria, countered by anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) in phages, which specifically block these bacterial “gene scissors”.

Research team from Würzburg and Braunschweig unveils novel anti-CRISPR protein mechanism for precise control of genome editing technologies The CRISPR-Cas gene scissors offer a wide range of ...
