Suppression of HBV replication by the expression of nickase- and nuclease dead-Cas9
Complete removal of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA from nuclei is difficult by the current therapies. Recent reports have shown that a novel genome-editing tool using Cas9 with a single-guide RNA (sgRNA) system can cleave the HBV genome in vitro and in vivo.

Excision of Nucleopolyhedrovirus Form Transgenic Silkworm Using the CRISPR/Cas9 System
The CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering has been shown to efficiently suppress infection by disrupting genes of the pathogen. We recently constructed transgenic lines expressing CRISPR/Cas9 and the double sgRNA target Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus

CRISPR Cas9 in Pancreatic Cancer Research
Pancreatic cancer is now becoming a common cause of cancer death with no significant change in patient survival over the last 10 years. The main treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients are surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but there ...

Engineered CRISPR-Cas9 nucleases with altered PAM specificities
Although CRISPR-Cas9 nucleases are widely used for genome editing, the range of sequences that Cas9 can recognize is constrained by the need for a specific protospacer adjacent motif (PAM). As a result, it can often be difficult to target double-stranded

CRISPR/Cas9, a universal tool for genomic engineering
The CRISPR/Cas9 system was initially described as an element of archeal and bacterial immunity, but gained much attention recently for its outstanding ability to be programmed to target any genomic loci through a short 20-nucleotide sgRNA region. Here we
