CRISPR-based diagnostics (CRISPR-dx), including the Cas12-based DETECTR and Cas13- based SHERLOCK Class 2 CRISPRs, have been used to detect the presence of DNA or …
CRISPR-Cas systems provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against invasion by bacteriophages and other mobile genetic elements. Short fragments of invader …
CRISPR–Cas systems constitute the adaptive immune system of bacteria and archaea, as a sequence-specific nucleic acid targeting defense mechanism. The sequence-specific …

Abstract Type I CRISPR-Cas3 uses an RNA-guided multi Cas-protein complex, Cascade, which detects and degrades foreign nucleic acids via the helicase-nuclease Cas3 protein …
While there is an effective vaccine for Human Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), 257 million people have chronic infections for which there is no cure. The assembly process for the viral capsid …
Cas3 has essential functions in CRISPR immunity but its other activities and roles, in vitro and in cells, are less widely known. We offer a concise review of the latest understanding …
