Most people would take the two CRISPR gene-editing components (a Cas9 protein and guide RNA), package them up inside of a virus, and then inject the viruses into the skulls of mice. Promising new malaria vaccine for kids approved in Ghana. This is not the first vaccine approved to prevent malaria, but it is by far the most effective.

Water accounts for 70 percent of a bacterium by mass; the other 30 percent includes everything else: proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids, and so on. MenAfriVac is a meningococcal vaccine that remains active, without refrigeration, for up to four days and has significantly boosted vaccine coverage in parts of sub-Saharan Africa.

The central dogma is often depicted as DNA→RNA→protein, but it’s much more: A biophysical marvel inside the smallest of vessels. The landmark paper enabled revolutions in insulin biomanufacturing, CAR-T therapies, and the bioproduction of most modern vaccines; in other words, much of what we take for granted today.

Some scientists even think it had a virus defense system; “researchers say LUCA likely housed 19 CRISPR genes, which bacteria use to slice up viral threats,” reports Quanta Magazine. DNA and RNA molecules are also built from exclusively right-handed nucleic acids.

The researchers first compared the editing efficiency of different versions of IscB when coupled with 'ωRNA,' which guides the enzyme to the right spot on the DNA. A particular variant, named IscB*-ωRNA*, had the highest editing efficiency across multiple different sites in the genome. Read more in Nature Methods.
