Next-generation CRISPR tools and therapies improved by modified RNA guides
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), a gene-editing tool, is a promising way to treat diseases by removing, adding, or altering sections of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences. It is currently the most straightforward, most flexible, and accurate method of gene manipulation.
A new type of gene-editing tool, CRISPR-Cas13, has shown promise in RNA targeting. Previous studies have shown the tool as a potential treatment method for viral diseases, including coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Researchers at the lab of Neville Sanjana at New York University (NYU) and the New York Genome Center (NYGC) have developed chemically modified guide RNAs for a CRISPR system that targets RNA instead of DNA.

NEW YORK, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Lack of reproducibility is a critical problem in biomedical science, wasting both time and billions of dollars every year. The Correspondence
Tracking cell lineages improves research reproducibility , published today in Nature Biotechnology, lays the scientific foundation for a brand-new software platform called
FIND Cell; a unique tool that aims to improve reproducibility of cell-based science.
FIND Cell (available at https://findgen.bio/) integrates daily cell line tracking with genetic verification. It enables scientists to digitize, organise, verify, and find their cell culture related information – which is critical for biomedical research.
