When editing bacteria with CRISPR, less is more

Research team develops approach that increases efficiency of genome editing

13-Feb-2023 - Systematically attenuating DNA targeting activity can achieve CRISPR-driven editing in bacteria, greatly boosting colony counts and even increasing the frequency of precise genome editing. This was shown in a study of the Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI) in collaboration with the Helmholtz ...

CRISPR discovery paves the way for novel COVID testing method

LEOPARD has the potential to revolutionize diagnostics

29-Apr-2021 - Am I infected with SARS-CoV-2? Is it one of the dangerous variants? Being able to answer these and more questions with a single efficient diagnostic test can be decisive for gauging the spread of disease and selecting the right therapy. In a study published in the journal "Science", researchers ...
