CRISPR/Cas systems are widespread RNA-mediated prokaryotic adaptive immune systems providing protection against invading nucleic acids 1. However, throughout evolution, this host defense system ...

The microbes that make up an organism’s microbiome have a range of effects on its health. Scientists use CRISPR systems to genetically manipulate specific bacterial species, for instance those found ...

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) technology can precisely edit Both RNA and DNA. Free of CRISPR’s intellectual property mire, this system could revolutionize gene therapy. What started as a quest ...

Dystrophin is part of a protein complex linking the cytoskeleton of muscle fibers to the surrounding connective tissue (basal lamina). It’s a long protein with numerous redundant coils (purple balls), ...

Collins, along with Matthew Lau ’25, developed the affordable CRISPRKit to make CRISPR gene-editing technology accessible to high school students underrepresented in the sciences. The kit was ...
