Gene Regulation

Beyond the Cut: How CRISPR Regulates Genes, Detects Viruses, and Rewrites the Epigenome

CRISPR technology extends far beyond gene editing, enabling precise control over gene regulation, rapid nucleic acid diagnostics, and epigenome modification without altering DNA sequences. By repurposing Cas enzymes, researchers can silence or boost genes, detect pathogens, and study epigenetic effects with remarkable specificity.
