TAU experiment uses CRISPR-Cas to successfully diagnose diseases in space
Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers recently conducted a unique experiment in the International Space Station to test genetic diagnosis under microgravity conditions using the CRISPR system, a sort of molecular “search engine.” They proved that CRISPR-Cas can be used to precisely and reliably identify viruses and bacteria infecting crew members during space missions. The study… Read More
