Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells through epigenetic editing without altering the genetic sequence itself. It’s a great tool for controlling gene expression.”.

Molecular Diagnostic Tests: The Unsung Hero of Precise Clinical Decision Making

Roots Analysis

Hybridization Tests – These tests utilize complementary DNA or RNA probes to detect and quantify specific genetic targets, enabling the identification of pathogens, genetic variations, and gene expression patterns. Such test can be used for gene expression profiling, genotyping and detecting chromosomal abnormalities.

The evolution of the RNA therapeutics landscape 

Drug Discovery World

For decades, the life sciences community held the belief that RNA was merely the intermediary messenger (mRNA) between DNA and protein, a dogma that has been the foundation of biology. The most developed RNAi is small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA)-based therapies.

The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has come into focus within the drug discovery and development as an exciting tool to deliver genetic information. Proteins perform myriad functions within the human body and scientists have estimated that there are at least 20,000 canonical proteins that we know about.
