Accelerating CRISPR-based drug development
Targeted nucleases can precisely mediate genome alteration. CRISPR, comprising a nuclease (often Cas9) and a guide RNA strand (gRNA), induces site-specific cleavage of the DNA double strand and allows incorporation of a designed short guide sequence via homology-directed repair. The ability of the CRISPR system to virtually target any gene or genetic locus confers superior biological editing efficiency (Trends in Pharmacological Sciences 2022, 43, P151; Picture Courtesy: https://www.genengnews.com/insights/how-crispr-is-accelerating-drug-discovery).
