CRISPR stand for: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat. The CRISPR is repeat spacer array contain a series of short direct repeats interspaced with short sequence which had been detected in the genome of many bacteria and archaea. The CRISPR method is based on the natural defense system used by bacteria to protect themselves from invading viruses. When the DNA of virus detected by bacterium, the CRISPR RNA as a guide RNA which contain a sequence, match to the invading virus DNA, the adoptive immunity occurs in three steps: first CRISPR acquisition, a short sequence of invading DNA ( ̴ 30 nucleotide) as a spacer sequence insert to the CRISPR locus. Second, CRISPR expression, which CRISPR are transcribed as a single large …show more content…
Near to all of them could be categorized to the most adopted, 3 main groups, (type I, type II and type III). These classes could be sub grouped to Different classes such as sub type IA, IIA, IB, IIIB and etc.
In all identified CRISPR system, Cas 1 and Cas 2 proteins are presented. They involved in spacer integration which occurs during the adoption or acquisition step and regarded as a “core Cas proteins”. In the other hand, other Cas proteins are different in different type of system. Due to these difference, some system work by target the DNA, while others target and cleave the RNA.
For example, in type I, the presence of Cas 3 gene, encode a large protein responsible for degrading target. The different sub groups of this type contain a variable number of Cas genes. Type II include HNH system and encode the Cas 9 protein which participate in acquisition, CrRNA processing and cleavage of target DNA. Type III contain Cas 10

They observed Cas1Cas2 complex contain a constant concentration of Cas 1 and 2 concentration of Cas 2 and a strong peak with the molecular weight distribution of ̴ 78 which was a sum of one Cas1 dimer and one Cas 2 dimer. Thus these observation support the calculated stoichiometry from ITC data. Also, retention time of the complex on a gel-filtration column was also consistent with the AUC

    d) RNA Protein Truncation mutation in exon 2 Same length, same amount of RNA produced. Shorter in length (due to earlier stop codon), same amount of protein produced, usually changes the protein to non-functional, though not always. 3bp in frame deletion in exon 1 Shorter in length by 3pb, same amount of RNA produced. Shorter in length, same amount of protein produced, usually causes the protein to become non-functional, though not always.…

    To identify how UPF1 mutations alter gene expression, I will utilize CRISPR based genome editing (Doudna and Charpentier 2014) to generate human cell lines that contain UPF1 mutations identified in pancreatic ASC. To examine the differentially expressed candidates in pancreatic ASC, I will isolate total RNA from UPF1 mutant cell lines and perform RNA sequencing. To establish whether the upregulated genes are direct targets of NMD, I will compare this data with RNA isolated from cells where UPF1 is downregulated using short hairpin RNAs. To validate the top targets from RNA sequencing experiments, I will perform qPCR and northern blotting. To examine whether these candidates are also altered in pancreatic ASC, I will analyze the RNA levels of top targets in pancreatic ASC samples that contain UPF1 mutations.…

    Genetic mutations are the source of numerous hereditary diseases. This has been discovered by the comparison of two DNA sequences with bioformatic software. Two sequences are aligned and compared in order to locate mutations in the DNA (Module 4 Protocol,1). Escherichia coli aka E. coli was used as the test subject in this lab because it employs lac operons while transcribing mRNA. An operon is a unit of linked genes that regulates genes in charge of protein synthesis.…

    Summary: ״The CRISPR Conundrum״ “The CRISPR Conundrum” (2016) by Mary Bates, describes “CRISPR”- clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, which is a new revolutionary technology in genetic engineering. It is a kind of molecular scissors that can be programmed to snip specific bits of DNA. The article talks about the advantages of CRISPR, yet it describes CRISPR’s disadvantages as well. On the one hand, CRISPR is a cheap and precise technique to edit the DNA of animals, plants and even humans.…

    In 1987 scientists have found what is now called CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeat), which is a tool for biologists to make eugenics viable. Moreover, it’s a powerful, precise, and a surprisingly cheap tool that geneticists use to “cut” open and edit pieces of the genome of the DNA sequence. This powerful tool, CRISPR, uses blades on the DNA strand to cut/break it in half at a targeted location to match the (single interfering RNA) siRNA sequence. The siRNA is a pre-designed sequence located within an RNA scaffold that binds to the DNA and the sequence to guide Cas9 to the proper section of the genome that ensures the enzyme makes a precise cut across both strands of the DNA. For example, bacteriophages hunt bacteria in the ocean killing 40% daily.…

    CRISPR is the acronym for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat. This term is used to describe the unique organization of DNA sequences that are partially palindromic and are found in genomes and other microorganisms. The CRISPR immune system protects bacteria from ongoing viral infection. CRISPRs are variable sequences called spacers. The spacers are made from DNA of the virus that already attacked the host bacteria.…

    First, I would like to say that the topic I chose is very interesting and in fact I really like this topic. Before choosing my topic I had rough idea about what CRISPR was and how it was being used in recent times to engineer everything around us by small steps. Before my research findings I had an idea what CRISPR was such as how it was being used around the world on modifying genes, and engineering new species by deleting or replacing the genes that were unwanted by that organism. What I knew about CRISPR includes just main things such as how it works and basic genome sequences it would manipulate. I however did not know too much information about it since it is relatively a new topic and new discoveries being coming to light daily.…

    For scientists who are waiting for an alternative to existing genome editing tools, Crispr-cas9 is the solution which is comparatively easy and effective in using. Crisper allows the researcher to edit, target, excise and stitch genes of their choice between two end cuts. Crispr has the potential to make such advances which researchers used to dream about. It worked so well, scientists began to issue ethical statements for its use particularly about the power of Crispr to change germline in humans which presents a hotly debatable issue. Genome editing in human germline could have unpredictable effects on future generations.…

    While this technology certainly helped spark the ethical debates concerning genome editing, it failed to yield an affordable and efficient means of editing human DNA. While there were many other gene editing inventions that dabbled in the field for the next couple of decades, it was not until 2012 that the reality of its feasibility truly became apparent. It was the “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats,” and a nuclease that it utilizes, Cas9, (or CRISPR-Cas9 for short) that brought the conversation about gene editing back with vigor. Whether or not humanity has been able to agree on the use of gene editing, it has already proven successful in treating humans in a few extreme cases. Not only was the ability to edit human genes brought back to the forefront of conversation, but the disputes that lie among it were resurrected as well.…

    There is a variety of blood groups and antigens present in different human bodies, which depend on either polymorphism or inheritance. Blood grouping has a clinical significance, for example; we need blood grouping in cases of transfusion to avoid incompatibility, which often leads to blood clumping and agglutination then eventually death of patients, not only that but they are also important in pregnancies in cases of maternal fetal incompatibility. Each blood type has its own advantage like its resistance to infectious diseases.…

    Hepatitis is an inflammatory disease of the liver. The term hepatitis is most often used in conjunction with viral hepatitis, but the disease can also be caused by bacteria or toxic injury to the liver. It should be noted that whether hepatitis is bacterial, viral, or toxic, this disease can result in post necrotic cirrhosis, unless the hepatitis responds to treatment. Viral hepatitis is by far the most important liver infection and is a major health problem in the United States. The term viral hepatitis is used to refer several similar diseases but are etiologically and epidemiologically distinct infections (Lewis, 2011).…
