The growing threat of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is calling upon researchers to find alternative ways to treat these infections. Cue CRISPR-Cas technology. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is ...
Natural systems such as CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs) offer a targetable, one-step way to edit genomes. However, adapting them for biomedical applications has been challenging.

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they’d stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could ...
Around 10 million. That’s the number of lives forecasters believe we will lose each year by 2050 as bacteria develop defenses against the drugs we use to fight infections. Tackling antibiotic ...
That’s why a team from UC San Diego in La Jolla set out with Yale University researchers to develop a new system for gene ...
CRISPR — short for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats — is a method of genetic editing that uses RNA ...
