A new technology developed from bacteria is revolutionising gene editing. ABC Science's Bernie Hobbs explains what CRISPR is and how it works.

Small biotech turns CRISPR against bacteria, reducing E. coli in small early study By Annalee Armstrong May 31, 2023 10:50am SNIPR Biome microbiome CRISPR-Cas9 E.coli ...

Bacteria-attacking viruses, known as bacteriophages, use small RNAs to disarm the CRISPR-Cas immune systems of bacteria. This discovery has now been documented by researchers at the University of ...

CRISPR-based engineering of phages for in situ bacterial base editing. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022; 119 (46) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2206744119 ...

In bacteria, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) works by stealing small pieces of DNA from infecting viruses and storing those chunks in the genes of the bacteria.

CRISPR-Cas are immune systems bacteria have that protect them from getting infected by bacterial viruses -- called phages. It works by taking pieces of phage DNA and adding it to the bacterium's ...

Bacteria use CRISPR systems to store small pieces of DNA in their genome—called spacers—to guide an immune defense through the recognition, and ultimately destruction, of invading viruses. New ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems that allow bacteria to withstand attacks from enemies like viruses. These systems have been adapted by scientists to remove or cut and replace ...
