Applications of CRISPR–Cas systems in neuroscience [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Neuroscience, 2015
Genome-editing tools, and in particular those based on CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein) systems, are accelerating the pace of biological research and enabling targeted genetic interrogation in almost any organism and cell type. These tools have opened the door to the development of

CRISPR-Cas Controls Cryptic Prophages

open access: yes, 2022
The bacterial archetypal adaptive immune system, CRISPR-Cas, is thought to be repressed in the best-studied bacterium, Escherichia coli K-12. We show here that the E.

CRISPR-Cas antimicrobials: Challenges and future prospects

open access: yes, 2018
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a serious threat to modern medicine and may render common infections untreatable. The discovery of new antibiotics has come to a relative standstill during the last decade [1], and developing novel approaches to ...

Origins and evolution of CRISPR-Cas systems [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019
CRISPR-Cas, the bacterial and archaeal adaptive immunity systems, encompass a complex machinery that integrates fragments of foreign nucleic acids, mostly from mobile genetic elements (MGE), into CRISPR arrays embedded in microbial genomes. Transcripts of the inserted segments (spacers) are employed by CRISPR-Cas systems as guide (g)RNAs for ...

Rapid generation of endogenously driven transcriptional reporters in cells through CRISPR/Cas9 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
CRISPR/Cas9 technologies have been employed for genome editing to achieve gene knockouts and knock-ins in somatic cells. Similarly, certain endogenous genes have been tagged with fluorescent proteins. Often, the detection of tagged proteins requires high

COVID-19: CRISPR/Cas-like System of nsp3 Promotes the Mutant Recombination and Drug Resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia usually suffer from bacterial and fungal infections, and the drug resistance problem caused by the pandemic is becoming more and more serious. Simultaneously, the SARS-COV-2 virus has a rapid mutation phenomenon,
