SNIPR Biome ApS ("SNIPR"), the company pioneering CRISPR-based microbial gene therapy, announces today that Nature Biotechnology has published research findings from its preclinical work on SNIPR001, ...

The goal of gene therapy is to permanently cure hereditary diseases. One of the most promising technologies for this is the ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

Some viruses, known as bacteriophages, only infect bacterial cells, often destroying those bacteria in the process.

A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. A microscopic discovery will ...

An unexpected find has enabled important progress to be made in the battle against harmful bacteria. An international team of researchers, led by Professor Peter Fineran from the University of Otago, ...

Bacteria-attacking viruses, known as bacteriophages, use small RNAs to disarm the CRISPR-Cas immune systems of bacteria. This discovery has now been documented by researchers at the University of ...

CRISPR claimed scientific fame for its ability to quickly and accurately edit genes. But, at the core, CRISPR systems are immune systems that help bacteria protect themselves from viruses. A new study ...
