How a mini CRISPR Cas9 system is revolutionizing gene therapy!

CRISPR saCas9: It's the greatness of spCas9 "miniaturized"!
➜ Dear fellow gene editing enthusiasts, thanks for following our Molecular Minutes series--we hope you've had many gene editing adventures since! Have you heard of saCas9? It's a newly discovered nuclease that could change the game for CRISPR-based gene therapy. This "little" nuclease is small enough to fit into an adeno-associated virus and has already been busy editing the genomes of living organisms. Exciting, right? Watch our video to learn more about this CRISPR Cas9 system!

Please make a video on magnetic bead DNA extraction methods and steps.

[@abmgood]

That sounds really an interesting topic to cover. We will definitely let the video production team know! Thanks for your suggestion.

[@the_encephalonaire]

@@abmgood ok thanks.

[@newzealandgold4734]

Love the video, harder than it looked to make.

[@edpaek]

Good job on the video. This was a fun update. Could you leave links for PubMed references to the papers you reference?

[@abmgood]

Hi Daewon774,

subscribed, cool content.

Thanks :)

Question, can Criapr be applied as a treatment for conditions like myopia?

[@abmgood]

Hello Samuel,
Unfortunately, myopia can not be corrected in an adult eye by genetic editing. Modifying the instructions/DNA can stop the problem in future, but it is not possible to fix things which are already defected.

[@samuelzev4076]

Applied Biological Materials - will there ever be a cure for myopia using gene editing?

[@rahulpaul2976]

Is it possible to change skin color by using crispr cas9 gene editing system??

[@abmgood]

Hello Raul,
Yes, theoretically the CRISPR gene editing system could be used to modify melanin expression levels.

[@nebiu9662]

is crispr cas 9a device?

[@abmgood]

Hi Nebiu, thanks for your comments! Cas9 is a nuclease protein that is currently popularly used in CRISPR gene editing. You can read more about Cas9 variants at our knowledge base: goo.gl/df55ap

[@KingJimmyC]

Who knows how to do use a crispr cas 9 device?

[@abmgood]

Hi James! Thanks for watching and commenting -- there are many scientists in the field as well as companies that now offer CRISPR Cas9-related services. At abm, for instance, we offer sgRNA design services as well as a variety of cells that express Cas9. You can find our CRISPR products/services here: www.abmgood.com/CRISPR-Cas9-sgRNA.html
