Johns Hopkins Researchers Identify CRISPR Dimmer

The Pharma Data

A range of companies are exploring potential gene editing therapies based on a CRISPR-Cas9 system, and the ability to tune the CRISPR cut could prevent off-target editing or control the degree of a target protein’s production. The authors found that tracr-L redirects Cas9 in S. The authors suggest natural tracr-L regulates autoimmunity.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

It is worth noting that the transcription factor is responsible for recruiting RNA polymerase to bind to the gene and produce messenger RNA, which is then translated into the protein. An additional level of genetic control is provided by gene switches that are located upstream of the promoter region.
