The CRISPR-Cas system is capable of editing DNA and RNA in situ in living organisms, and as an antiviral agent, can specifically identify and target nucleic acid sequences originating from a pathogen.
The potential of using this gene manipulation technology as a SARS-CoV-2 inhibitor or prophylactic is investigated in a review recently uploaded to the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine (April 25th, 2021) by Arnab Banerjee and colleagues.
CRISPR-Cas systems have been developed for a variety…
