Novel miniature CRISPR–Cas13 systems from uncultivated microbes effective in degrading SARS-CoV-2 sequences and influenza viruses
2020-05-21
Abstract excerpt
Recently emerging SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused a global pandemic, with millions of infections and over 200, 000 deaths1. However, development of effective anti-coronavirus treatments has lagged behind. Competitive co-evolution between microbes and viruses has led to the diversification of microbe’s CRISPR/Cas defense systems against infectious viruses2,3. Among class-2 single effector systems, Cas13 is effective in...
