Novel treatment based on gene editing safely and effectively removes HIV-like virus from genomes of non-human primates

A single injection of a novel CRISPR gene-editing treatment safely and efficiently removes SIV -- a virus related to the AIDS-causing agent HIV -- from the genomes of non-human primates, scientists now report. The groundbreaking work complements previous experiments as the basis for the first-ever clinical trial of an HIV gene-editing technology in human patients,…

Gene editing makes bacteria-killing viruses even more deadly

Broad-spectrum antibiotics are akin to nuclear bombs, obliterating every prokaryote they meet. They're effective at eliminating pathogens, sure, but they're not so great for maintaining a healthy microbiome. Ideally, we need precision antimicrobials that can target only the harmful bacteria while ignoring the other species we need in our bodies, leaving them to thrive. Enter…

Bacteriophages a key to getting the musty smell out of tap water

Actinomycetes are common soil and other organic matter, and can grow on water pipes.

“Hidden” Genes in Bacteriophages Could Be Key in Development of New Antibiotics

A new study from the Center for Phage Technology shows how bacteriophage lysis genes could be key to developing new antibiotics. Membrane-localized phage proteins may also help revitalize, enhance existing antibiotics. A study from the Center for Phage Technology, part of Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Texas A&M AgriLife Research, shows…
