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 without editing the genetic sequence itself. These modifications regulate gene expression without altering the sequence or structure of DNA.

Their breakthrough revealed a previously unknown mechanism by which genes are controlled that is essential for the development and function of multicellular organisms, including humans. A gene contains instructions within our DNA. However, microRNAs can bind to this mRNA, preventing it from functioning.

SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by an outer surface speckled with spike proteins, giving it a crown-like appearance, hence the name “corona,” which is the Latin word for crown. The spike protein is critical for binding to ACE2 receptors on host cells — this interaction mediates the entry of the virus into cells.
