Gene-edited zebrafish models take disease research to the next level
Advances in optimisation of the gene-editing technique CRISPR/Cas9 in zebrafish disease models offer a new level of accuracy and specificity
Phages work together to suppress CRISPR bacterial immunity
CRISPR, or clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, are an essential part of bacterial immunity designed to defend against foreign
Profiling the genome hundreds of variations at a time: A CRISPR-Cas9 high-throughput strategy creates the possibility to rapidly profile and identify genes and DNA sequence variations key to different traits and diseases
Geneticists have been using model organisms ranging from the house mouse to the single-cell bakers’ yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to study
