Lack of Cas13a inhibition by anti-CRISPR proteins from Leptotrichia prophages

Summary CRISPR systems are prokaryotic adaptive immune systems that use RNA-guided Cas nucleases to recognize and destroy foreign genetic elements. To overcome CRISPR immunity, bacteriophages have evolved diverse families of anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs). Recently, Lin et al. (2020) described the discovery and characterization of 7 Acr families (AcrVIA1–7) that inhibit…

Rapid CRISPR-Cas13a genetic identification enables new opportunities for listed Chinook salmon management

Accurate taxonomic identification is foundational for effective species monitoring and management. When visual identifications are infeasible or inaccurate, genetic approaches provide a reliable alternative. However, these approaches are sometimes less viable (e.g., need for near real-time results, remote locations, funding concerns, molecular inexperience). In these situations, CRISPR-based genetic tools can…
