Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats , CRISPR (skrót)

CRISPR's low cost compared to alternatives is widely seen as revolutionary.

With CRISPR interference, we can prevent the message from being written.

New CRISPR technology may provide a big boon to the agricultural industry.

For example, one exciting potential application of CRISPR is pest control.

Finally, the most contentious use of CRISPR is its application to humans.

Another mechanism employed by bacteria is referred to as CRISPR.

The muscle that received the CRISPR treatment also showed significant improvements in function.

Finally, the potential side-effects of CRISPR technology in humans are still unknown.

This CRISPR system provides bacteria with acquired immunity to infection.

For this study, the researchers adapted the CRISPR system to act as a transcription factor.

After treatment with CRISPR, more than half of mouse samples showed that the appropriate gene had been edited.

While other methods take months or years to edit gene sequences, CRISPR speeds that time up to weeks.

The scientists who conducted the research stated that CRISPR is not ready for clinical application in reproductive medicine.

A CRISPR array is transcribed from a promoter in the leader into a single long transcript.

Their work led to the understanding of the mechanism of CRISPR, the bacterial antiviral defense.

In 2015, two significant advances contributed to CRISPR's status as this year's Breakthrough technique.

Regardless of how the ethical and legal implications are handled, CRISPR will inevitably have far-reaching effects.

However, CRISPR is still a very new genetic therapy, and its use in humans is not currently approved.

Cas genes are often associated with CRISPR repeat-spacer arrays.

In prokaryotes, CRISPR are arrays of alternating repeats and spacers.

They jointly studied a simpler CRISPR system that relies on a protein called Cas9.

First a copy of the invading nucleic acid is integrated into the CRISPR locus.

The alternative is to extract and reconstruct CRISPR arrays from shotgun metagenomic data.

There's a lot of flexibility with CRISPR, and it really comes from the fact that you don't have to spend any more time doing protein engineering.

The CRISPR System was first identified in single cell archaea (Prokaryotes).
