3D structure of a probable precursor to the CRISPR-Cas12 enzyme revealed

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA. Since the discovery of the CRISPR gene editing technology, scientists are revealing the evolution of the CRISPR-Cas proteins from their precursors.

New ghost imaging algorithm produces higher-resolution image reconstruction with better contrast

Although electron microscopy can already reveal details as small as one nanometer, ongoing research seeks to break through barriers limiting image quality and reducing the optical dose on the samples. Aberration is a common problem in electron microscopy that can reduce the resolution and quality of the images produced.
