New CRISPR-Powered Device Detects Genetic Mutations in Minutes

A team of engineers at UC Berkeley and the Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) of The Claremont Colleges combined CRISPR with electronic transistors made from graphene to create a new hand-held device that can detect specific genetic mutations in a matter of minutes. The device, dubbed CRISPR-Chip, could be used to rapidly diagnose genetic diseases or to evaluate the accuracy of gene-editing techniques. The team used the device to identify genetic mutations in DNA samples from Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. [9/2019] [Show ID: 35130]

Nice!

[@karthikv.k8203]

Really exciting...Is it possible to detect SNP's??

[@drewkamacho4743]

Maybe if a man created it this machine would

Sou do Brasil! Já está em ensaios clínicos?

[@omniversosindios7953]

wow! and this is just the beginning

Can we remove genetic dark circles with crispr

[@rafiqnimer528]

Is it possible to buy this device?
If yes where can I buy it ?
I have SMS.
