Recent studies highlight enhancements in CRISPR genome editing technologies. Advances include a dual-mode CRISPR system enabling simultaneous gene activation and repression, broadening synthetic biology applications. Additionally, screening approaches maximize efficiency using natural CRISPR-associated transposons. Partnerships like VedaBio’s strategic deal with Siemens Healthineers aim to commercialize rapid, amplification-free CRISPR diagnostics for infectious diseases. Together, these innovations enhance the specificity, speed, and applicability of gene editing tools for biomedical research and therapeutics.
