  2. CRISPR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR

    The system has 2 CRISPR loci and 9 Cas genes. It seems to be homologous to the I-F system found in Yersinia pestis. Moreover, like the bacterial CRISPR-Cas system, ICP1 CRISPR-Cas can acquire new sequences, which allows phage and host to co-evolve. [177] [178] Certain archaeal viruses were shown to carry mini-CRISPR arrays containing one or two ...

  3. CRISPR gene editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_gene_editing

    CRISPR-Cas9. CRISPR gene editing (CRISPR, pronounced / ˈ k r ɪ s p ə r / (crisper), refers to a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats") is a genetic engineering technique in molecular biology by which the genomes of living organisms may be modified. It is based on a simplified version of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas9 ...

  4. CRISPR-associated transposons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR-associated_transposons

    CRISPR-associated transposons or CASTs are mobile genetic elements that have evolved to make use of minimal CRISPR systems for RNA-guided transposition of their DNA. [1] Unlike traditional CRISPR systems that contain interference mechanisms to degrade targeted DNA, CASTs lack proteins and/or protein domains responsible for DNA cleavage. [ 2 ]

  5. CRISPR/Cas tools - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR/Cas_Tools

    The CRISPR/Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR associated nucleases) system was originally discovered to be an acquired immune response mechanism used by archaea and bacteria. It has since been adopted for use as a tool in the genetic engineering of higher organisms.

  6. Cas12a - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cas12a

    The CRISPR-Cas12a system consist of a Cas12a enzyme and a guide RNA that finds and positions the complex at the correct spot on the double helix to cleave target DNA. CRISPR-Cas12a systems activity has three stages: [3] Adaptation: Cas1 and Cas2 proteins facilitate the adaptation of small fragments of DNA into the CRISPR array.

  7. CRISPR RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_RNA

    CRISPR RNA or crRNA is a RNA transcript from the CRISPR locus. [1] CRISPR-Cas (clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats - CRISPR associated systems) is an adaptive immune system found in bacteria and archaea to protect against mobile genetic elements , like viruses , plasmids , and transposons .

    The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race is a non-fiction book authored by American historian and journalist Walter Isaacson. ...

  9. Human Nature (2019 film) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Nature_(2019_film)

    Human Nature is a film documentary which presents an in-depth description of the gene editing process of CRISPR, and its possible implications.The film includes the perspective of the scientists who invented the process, and of the genetic engineers who are applying the process.
