Double-strand DNA end-binding and sliding of the toroidal CRISPR-associated protein Csn2 [PDF]
The adaptive immunity of bacteria against foreign nucleic acids, mediated by CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), relies on the specific incorporation of short pieces of the invading foreign DNA into a special genomic locus, termed CRISPR array.

Engineered amphiphilic peptides enable delivery of proteins and CRISPR-associated nucleases to airway epithelia [PDF]
AbstractThe delivery of biologic cargoes to airway epithelial cells is challenging due to the formidable barriers imposed by its specialized and differentiated cells. Among cargoes, recombinant proteins offer therapeutic promise but the lack of effective delivery methods limits their development.

Modified Cas (CRISPR-associated Protein) for Genome Editing and Beyond
As one of the most popular tools for genome editing, CRISPR/Cas9 system has been widely used in gene targeting, transcriptional regulation, epigenetic modification, even in gene therapy and drug delivery. Although CRISPR/Cas9 system provides a simple, specific and high efficient platform, it still has some limitations.

Deactivated CRISPR Associated Protein 9 for Minor-Allele Enrichment in Cell-Free DNA [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) diagnostics are emerging as a new paradigm of disease monitoring and therapy management. The clinical utility of these diagnostics is relatively limited by a low signal-to-noise ratio, such as with low allele frequency (AF) mutations in cancer. While enriching

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Identification of proteins influencing CRISPR-associated transposases for enhanced genome editing
CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) hold tremendous potential for microbial genome editing because of their ability to integrate large DNA cargos in a programmable, site-specific manner. However, their widespread application has been hindered by poorly understood host factor requirements for transposition.
