本研究针对黑龙江菜豆根瘤中分离的根瘤菌多样性展开系统研究，通过多基因序列分析（16S rRNA、recA-atpD）、全基因组平均核苷酸同源性（ANI）和数字DNA杂交（dDDH）技术，鉴定出两株新种Rhizobium binxianense sp. nov.（模式菌株BJ04T ）和Rhizobium mulingense sp. nov.（模式 ...

In the never-ending quest to discover previously unknown CRISPR gene-editing systems, researchers have scoured microbes in everything from hot springs and peat bogs to poo and even yogurt.

Doctors harvest stem cells from the patient’s bone marrow and then send them off to a lab, where CRISPR is used to turn up the production of another, functional version of haemoglobin.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals plans to sell a gene-editing treatment for sickle-cell disease. A patent on CRISPR could stand in the way. That’s a real nice CRISPR cure you have there. It would be a ...

A year later, in 2013, Feng Zhang and his colleagues at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard reported that they’d harnessed that system, known as Crispr, to edit human and animal cells in the lab.

The same might one day be said for the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats). In a decade, scientists have transformed CRISPR from a ...
