Couldn't we have done this already before? Why is CRISPR such a big deal

Prokaryotic defense mechanism against viruses.
Also you are probably the only guy here who cares so much about it. Maybe too much, but whatever floats your boat.

>>11209822
CRISPR now means CRISPR-Cas9 like crypto means cryptocurrency instead of crypto(graphy)

>>11209821
Why haven't you yourself done this already before if it's so easy?

>>11209836
Because I'm not a bioengineer you fucking retard

>>11209840
Then why are you talking about it as if it's so easy?

>>11209846
Please stop replying to me if you're mentally challenged

>>11209821
Previous attempts required creating a protein per change, while CRISPR only requires creating a gRNA per change.

I'm replying to myself btw cause I looked it up

CRISPR will change everything. It's literally the most important technology of the century

>>11209850
This isn't r*ddit, I can reply to you as much as I want and there's nothing you can do about it.

It's just pop science

Depends, our lab uses it to cut out specific domains in proteins associated with chromatin to study the process of packing DNA in nucleus.

>>11209810
nanites.

>>11210454
Yeah that's what everyone does. Just another boring alternative to reporter assays and transgenesis

>>11210454
Any link or more details?

>cut out specific domains in proteins
Do you mean cutting out parts of the gene coding for the proteins you study?

>>11210469
True, but this way is nicer and easier to do. Also
>transgenesis
>boring
Knock-outs are very important in research, stfu.

>>11210474
Yeah, sorry for mental shortcut.

sci-fi voodoo that will never be practical
