Engineered Antiviral Sensor Targets Infected Mosquitoes
2023-01-27
Abstract excerpt
Escalating vector disease burdens pose significant global health risks, so innovative tools for targeting mosquitoes are critical. We engineered an antiviral strategy termed REAPER (v R NA E xpression A ctivates P oisonous E ffector R ibonuclease) that leverages the programmable RNA-targeting capabilities of CRISPR Cas13 and its potent collateral activity. Akin to a stealthy Trojan Horse hiding in stealth aw...
