Every CRISPRDx platform has gRNA design parameters suited to the Cas protein used (Fn/enFnCas9, Cas13, Cas12, Cas14 etc.). CriSNPr designs gRNAs across different platforms (SHERLOCK, DETECTR, FELUDA, RAY etc.) and returns optimal guides for assay validation (2/n)

Scientists are editing out the caffeine genes using CRISPR genome engineering to develop a "natural" decaf coffee, to avoid the messy chemical process to remove the caffeine in use now. Will you drink it? slate.com/technology/202…

Just shared at Keystone Symposia a new @ArcInstitute discovery of the bridge RNA recombinase mechanism: a new class of natural RNA-guided systems that retains the key property of programmability from RNAi and CRISPR while enabling large-scale genome design beyond RNA and DNA cuts

What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA? In back-to-back nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design
