We all know that in the lab there are often little tricks that are essential for experiments but that nobody talks about. After months of troubleshooting, those people who did not tell you that essential thing ask incredulously, “You seriously didn’t add 3 microliters of 5 mM ...
Colorful CRISPR technologies are helping researchers visualize the genome and its organization within the nucleus, also called the 4D nucleome. Visualizing specific loci has historically been difficult, as techniques like fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosome ...
This post was contributed by guest bloggers Alissa Lance-Byrne and Alex Chavez, researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. CRISPR/Cas9 technology has revolutionized the fields of molecular biology and bioengineering, as it has facilitated the ...
Originally published Oct 11, 2016 and last updated Dec 22, 2020 by Benoit Giquel. CRISPR has taken the genome engineering world by storm owing to its ease of use and utility in a wide variety of organisms. While much of current CRISPR research focuses on its potential ...
