The Crispr System : A Series Of Short Direct Repeats

BIOLOGY OF THE CRISPR-CAS9 SYSTEM Functionality of the CRISPR system The endonuclease Cas9 is the core multifunctional protein of the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Two nuclease domains: HNH (39) and RuvC-like (40), within the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) protein conduct the function of cleaving DNA strands. Studies have confirmed that the tracrRNA: crRNA duplex structure will lead to the sequence-specific DNA cleavage (41). PAM short sequence facilitates crRNA to recognize the targeted DNA sequence…

III. Overview of CRISPR-Cas immunity Recent advances in molecular techniques and bioinformatics analysis has allowed for the isolation and the sequencing of a large number of prokaryotic genomes which has led to the discovery of many unknown genes. First discovered in 1987, the CRISPR-Cas system is a prokaryotic adaptive immunity defense system that confers resistance against invading nucleic acids, either viral or plasmid. In other words, if an intracellular parasite (such as a phage or a plasmid)…

high precision has emerged. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR associated systems (Cas) is a young but promising new method for specific gene editing. The CRISPR-Cas system is a unique method of creating a double stranded break using specific guide RNA that just use simple base pairing rules to bind and cleave a target DNA sequence (Sander and Joung, 2014). Although it seems very promising, the CRISPR-Cas method is still relatively new in the scientific world…

However, pig organ poses…

The RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 system has revolutionized genetic engineering by allowing targeted genomic modification through the simple design of a 20 base pair guiding sequences. This groundbreaking technology utilizes a short guide RNA (sgRNA) to direct the Cas9 nuclease to a specific genomic locus through complementary base pairing. The guide RNA or sgRNA is responsible for the specificity of the CRISPR-Cas9 system, and several consideration need to be taken during its design process. In bacteria…

Origin and Development of CRISPR-Cas9 System CRISPR loci are first identified in archaea and bacteria when they systematically drew attention from scientists with their biological function to fight phages and viruses (Hsu, Lander, Zhang, 2014). Structurally, a clustered set of Cas (CRISPR-associated) genes and a unique CRISPR array constitute the CRISPR loci. The CRISPR array was further comprised of short repetitive sequence interspaced by distinctive sequences (spacers) in correspondence with exogenous…

Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR Associated System (CAS) is an advancement in technology that transformed a previous protein-based targeting (TALEN and Zinc Finger) process used to target and splice genes or DNA sequences. CRISPR-Cas9 was discovered in 2013 by Feng Zhang from the Broad Institute and MIT. CRISPR-Cas9 targets specific base pairs using small RNA that can be easily swapped for many different RNA targeting sites. This allowed CRISPR-Cas9 to surpass the…

Dealing with repeat, criminal offenders, has become a hot-topic issue in the corrections community, as well as the justice system as a whole. Society demands to be protected from the criminal element, and rightly so, but how do we identify the career criminals, and keep them from harming others? Even though a small number of career criminals were responsible for the majority of the crimes being committed in the country, it was not until the mid-1980s that selective incapacitation began to be…

CRISPR/Cas9 DNA editing system is a prokaryotic immune system that becomes resistant to foreign genetics such as plasmids. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are prokaryotic DNA strands that have a short repetition base sequence. Cas9 is a nuclease enzyme that is used to cut into DNA strands that are associated with CRISPR type II. CRISPR/Cas9 system has several advantages when using this technology in the biological and biomedical sciences. It also…
