what's your favorite application of CRISPR, and does it echo through the molecular gloving community? credit for footage: nature video CRISPR: Gene editing and beyond, Liquid FlowArt, zac.gloves . Park SJ, Lee GE, Cho SM, Choi EH. Recent applications, future perspectives, and limitations of the CRISPR-Cas system. Mol Ther Nucleic Acids. 2025 Jul 17;36(3):102634. "Although originally characterized as an adaptive immune system in bacteria and archaea, CRISPR-Cas9 has transcended its native role to revolutionize fields ranging from functional genomics to translational medicine. Pivotal observations of mysterious repeat sequences in the Escherichia coli genome in 1987 laid the foundation for this paradigm shift, yet it was not until the early 2000s that these loci, now known as CRISPR arrays, were recognized as evidences of past viral encounters and the crucible of a heritable defense system. By utilizing a single effector protein and a customizable guide RNA (gRNA), CRISPR-Cas9 surpasses earlier engineered nucleases such as zinc-finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases in simplicity and flexibility. This efficient architecture has catalyzed rapid adoption across diverse organisms and cell types, facilitating both loss-of-function screens and precise gene corrections. Central to its diverse function is the cellular response to Cas9-induced double-strand breaks (DSBs), which are resolved by competing repair pathways, primarily error-prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and high-fidelity homology-directed repair (HDR)." #dna #genetics #crispr #genome #geneediting

The human genome is incredibly complex. It contains around 3 billion base pairs of DNA, forming the genetic instructions that guide how our bodies grow, function, and develop. These tiny molecular “letters” store the blueprint for every human trait, making DNA one of the most fascinating molecules in biology. #DidYouKnow #HumanDNA #Genome #Genetics #ScienceFacts #BiologyFacts #DNAScience #HumanBody #ScienceEducation #alchetron #viral Read more : https://alchetron.com/Human-genome

Do you know what eukaryotic cells are? Animation of a cutaway view of a eukaryotic cell, showing the nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are the building blocks of all animals, plants and fungi. This is an animal cell. They are distinguished from prokaryotic cells (such as bacterial cells) by the presence of a nucleus (pink) containing the cell's genetic material. Surrounding the nucleus is the endoplasmic reticulum (red), which is studded with protein-making ribosomes (yellow).

An international team of scientists has created the first draft of a map showing how genes interact inside a human cell. This map shows how genes work together in complex networks. They found about 90,000 interactions among four million pairs of genes. The study used CRISPR gene-editing and computer programs to find these interactions, including connections between genes involved in diseases and drug targets. This new map helps us understand gene functions better and could lead to new ways to treat diseases. The researchers plan to use artificial intelligence to predict and study the most important gene interactions in the future. 🌐 Source: Maximilian Billmann et al. | Cell 📷 Image credit: Chad Myers | University of Minnesota

A new technique lets researchers map the 3D organization of the genome with 100 times higher resolution — and at much lower cost — than other methods. The work “opens a world of possibilities, not just for us but also for dozens of labs,” graduate student Viraat Goel says. Read about the research and watch the full video.
