Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.

A novel CRISPR defense mechanism, unlike known nucleases, specifically destroys transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNA) that are ...

Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

CRISPR–Cas9-based therapies are widely investigated for their clinical applications. However, there are limitations ...

Researchers at Utah State University revealed new details about CRISPR immune system defenses, such as Cas12a3 systems, that ...

The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...

The current study explored how macronutrients in the host diet are involved in gut colonization and competition by V.

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

New research shows how RNA, a key molecule for life, may have formed on early Earth using simple chemistry and materials delivered by asteroid impacts, linking space science with the origins of life ...
