Short Description
A patented CRISPR-Cas9 platform for precise genome modification in living organisms.
A patented CRISPR-Cas9 platform for precise genome modification in living organisms.
Long Description
The patented CRISPR-Cas9 platform is a revolutionary genome editing tool that enables precise modification of the genome in living organisms. At its core, the platform consists of two key components: the Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA (gRNA). The Cas9 enzyme is a nuclease that cleaves the target DNA sequence, while the gRNA is a small RNA molecule that guides the Cas9 enzyme to the specific location in the genome where the edit is desired. The gRNA is programmed to recognize a specific protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence, which is a short DNA sequence that is adjacent to the target sequence.The CRISPR-Cas9 platform works by first designing and synthesizing a gRNA that is complementary to the target DNA sequence. The gRNA is then complexed with the Cas9 enzyme, forming a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. The RNP complex is then introduced into the cell, where it binds to the target DNA sequence and cleaves it. The cell's natural repair machinery is then activated, and one of two repair pathways is used to repair the double-stranded break: non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). NHEJ results in a small insertion or deletion (indel) at the target site, while HR can be used to introduce a specific edit by providing a template with homologous arms.The CRISPR-Cas9 platform has several advantages over other genome editing tools, including its high specificity, efficiency, and ease of use. The platform has been widely adopted in basic research, and has shown promise in treating genetic diseases, improving crop yields, and developing novel biotechnologies. However, the platform also has limitations, including off-target effects and mosaicism. To address these limitations, several improvements have been made to the platform, including the development of high-specificity Cas9 variants, optimized gRNA design, and improved delivery methods.The patented CRISPR-Cas9 platform has been validated in a variety of cell types and organisms, including mammalian cells, plants, and microorganisms. The platform has been used to introduce a wide range of edits, including gene knockouts, gene knockins, and gene modifications. The platform has also been used in combination with other technologies, such as gene expression modulation and gene regulation, to achieve complex phenotypes. Overall, the CRISPR-Cas9 platform is a powerful tool for precise genome modification in living organisms, and has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of fields, from basic research to biotechnology and medicine.
