A naturally occurring system for tuning CRISPR-Cas9 expressing in bacteria, identified in a study published in Cell , could have implications for gene editing therapies as well. A CRISPR-Cas9 system has two components: the Cas9 guide RNA that directs the system to edit a particular gene, and the CRISPR “scissors” that make the cut.
