CRISPR in Drug Discovery 2020

2020 – CRISPR in Drug Discovery The second CRISPR in Drug Discovery: From Targets to Therapeutics meeting will be held at the Babraham Institute, Cambridge, 4th and 5th March 2020. Genome Engineering, including zinc-finger nucleases, TALENs and most recently CRISPR/Cas9, has become a powerful tool in the drug discovery pipeline. T...

Have a look at a new interesting paper from one of our IMGENE fellows.
Exploring a new approach to "Expand the editable genome".
A cutting-free strategy (In-trans paired nicking) implement CRISPR-Cas9 veratility!

Expanding the editable genome and CRISPR–Cas9 versatility using DNA cutting-free gene targeting based on in trans paired nicking Abstract. Genome editing typically involves recombination between donor nucleic acids and acceptor genomic sequences subjected to double-stranded DNA breaks (D

Outreach: Successfully introducing the world of CRISPR at SRP high school course 2020 On 14-15 January 2020, 13 students from Danish high schools across the country participated in the two-day SRP course. The SRP high school course is an annual event hosted by BRIC and this year the theme of the course was CRISPR.

Here is the last paper of the month of the 2019 👨‍🔬🎄👩‍🔬: Improved Cas9 activity by specific modifications of the tracrRNA

December 2019 Improved Cas9 activity by specific modifications of the tracrRNA Tristan Scott, Ryan Urak, Citradewi Soemardy & Kevin V. Morris

Each of these handprints were made by researchers and staff who all engage in the daily fight against cancer through research!
