"“Everything in the last 14 years of genome editing has been based on CRISPR.
We have been whipping this horse for a decade and a half, but we need more
programmable functions with complexity beyond the molecular scissors that cut
RNA and DNA.” So says Patrick Hsu, PhD, co-founder of the Arc Institute, in
whose lab the next revolutionary phase of genome engineering may have just been
unearthed, even as the CRISPR revolution has barely begun.
In January of this year, researchers in Hsu’s laboratory (he is also assistant
professor of bioengineering and Deb Faculty Fellow at the University of
California, Berkeley) posted a preprint on
bioRxiv in which they claim to
have discovered a new class of natural single-effector RNA-guided systems. That
story, now peer reviewed, is published online today in
Nature."
