Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the ...

Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But ...

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 ...

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 ...

"As CRISPR therapies enter the clinic ... For each of two nucleases—Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes and Cas12 from Staphylococcus aureus—they identified three short sequences, about eight ...
