How Does It Work? | CRISPR Mechanism
The CRISPR Cas9 System was first discovered as part of the bacterial adaptive immune response against viruses, but in recent years it’s revolutionized our techniques for genome editing. The Cas9 complex is formed of two components. A protein called Cas9 that can cut double stranded DNA, and a guide RNA, that binds to a specific …Read More >

RARE DISEASES: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR TREATMENTS DELIVERED BY ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUSES
Tumor evolution selectively inactivates the core microRNA machinery for immune evasion
Cancer cells acquire genetic heterogeneity to escape from immune surveillance during tumor evolution, but a systematic approach to distinguish driver from passenger mutations is lacking. Here we investigate the impact of different immune pressure on tumor clonal dynamics and immune evasion mechanism, by combining massive parallel sequencing of immune edited tumors and CRISPR library screens …Read More >
