All cells make proteins in two steps: DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into protein. It is the untouchable foundation of molecular biology. The ribosome is a molecular printer that threads ‘beads’ onto a protein string. This is simple. And we want to subvert this.

In the paper, researchers from Johns Hopkins University and elsewhere found a natural long-form transactivating CRISPR RNA (tracr-L) in Streptococcus pyogenes that functions to downregulate its endogenous CRISPR-Cas9 system. But altering the tracr-L with genetic engineering to make it function more like a guide RNA increased CRISPR-Cas9 cuts.

But in the 1950s, at the dawn of molecular biology, scientists gained a new appreciation for it after searching for organisms that were easy to work with and quick to grow. 1 This singular organism has become the de facto microbe for molecular biology. Before World War II, few scientists used E. coli in their experiments.
