Highlighted Reports on the CRISPR Cas System!
Selected papers for CRISPR Cas! Segal and Meckler in 2013 state in ‘Genome Engineering at the Dawn of the Golden Age,’ that, “In summary, compared with ZFNs, TALENs can be designed for more targets, are more likely to be active… Read More ›
Is Targeted Insertion of Short DNA Fragments into Mammalian Cells Possible?
Recently the Targeted Insertion of Short DNA Fragments into Mammalian Cells was Shown to be Possible with the help of CRISPR Cas! The direct injection of Cas9 mRNA, sgRNAs, and DNA oligos or vectors into mammalian cells was reported as… Read More ›
What are Circular Oligonucleotides?
Circular oligonucleotides are covalently closed singular DNA or RNA strands that are resistant to degradation by many cellular DNA and RNA decay machineries. [Source: (left) Modelling DNA; Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A-2006-Harris-3319-34; (right) David Goodsell: The self-splicing RNA in PDB… Read More ›
