A DNA-guided CRISPR platform could make RNA detection and control more stable, scalable, and precise, opening new routes for diagnostics, transcriptome engineering, and future therapeutic research.

CRISPR’s rise from obscure bacterial defense system to molecular scalpel has always hinged on one small component: the guide RNA. For years, that guide RNA—meticulously designed, modified, and ...

"DNA guides are far cheaper and easier to manufacture than RNA guides, and they are far more stable," Jain said. "While RNA molecules degrade quickly, DNA can remain intact for long periods." Together ...
