If you follow CRISPR research, you know all about using non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) to make deletions or homology-directed repair (HDR) to create precise genome edits. But have you heard of another double-stranded break repair mechanism: MMEJ (microhomology-mediated ...
Updated Mar 26, 2020. At their most basic level, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing systems use a non-specific endonuclease (Cas9 or closely related Cpf1) to cut the genome and a small RNA (gRNA) to guide this nuclease to a user-defined cut site. After reading this post, we hope you ...
Having seen CRISPR’s success in basic research, researchers are eager to apply it in a clinical setting. CRISPR is often used for animal germline modification, to repair or add in disease-causing mutations, but, until recently it hadn’t been used to treat disease postnatally. ...
As evidenced by all the CRISPR publications, press, and plasmids out there, it’s obvious that CRISPR is a ground-breaking technology that’s already had a huge impact on research and will be affecting our everyday lives very soon. Not only is CRISPR having effects on various ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Cameron MacPherson at the Institut Pasteur CRISPR software and the piñata effect Two years ago I was a part of a group (Biology of Host-parasite Interactions, Institut Pasteur, Paris) that changed genome editing in the malaria community ...

Last updated Sep 30, 2020 by Marcy Patrick. CRISPR technology has been widely adopted for genome editing purposes because it's cheaper, faster, and easier than prior editing techniques. More and more CRISPR tools are being published each month, making CRISPR a great choice for ...
