Johns Hopkins Researchers Identify CRISPR Dimmer

The Pharma Data

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. The authors found that tracr-L redirects Cas9 in S. The authors suggest natural tracr-L regulates autoimmunity.

Phages could help to tackle antimicrobial resistance

Drug Target Review

Phage have been of interest to scientists as tools to understand fundamental molecular biology, as vectors of horizontal gene transfer and drivers of bacterial evolution, as sources of diagnostic and genetic tools, and as novel therapeutic agents. He continued: “CBASS cyclases look a lot like cGAS, so they have to be sensing something.
