Scientists are studying how bacteria use CRISPR to defend themselves from phages ... In their experiments, the scientists say ...

That work—and most of the subsequent research using CRISPR—is built on a viral defense mechanism from the bacterial species Streptococcus pyogenes. But other bacterial species also have similar ...

Bacteria steal DNA from silent viruses and use it like a memory bank. That memory helps them protect future generations.

But as it turns out, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is a completely ... with Emmanuelle Charpentier’s investigation of the Streptococcus pyogenes bacterium. She was trying to understand how its ...
