The gene editing method uses part of the bacterial defense mechanism against viruses. CRISPR-Cas allows scientists to edit specific genes in the DNA of organisms with unprecedented precision, speed and affordability. But new, even better technologies are already emerging. During the day <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/labnl\/\"><strong>LabNL<\/strong><\/a><strong> becomes CRISPR-Cas, among others <a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/labnl\/ontwikkelingen-in-dna-technologieen\/\">developments in DNA technologies<\/a>, <\/strong><strong>discussed by <\/strong><strong>associate professor Raymond Staals<\/strong><strong> from Wageningen University &amp; Research.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>By: Dimitri Reijerman<\/p>\r\n<p>In the past, genetic modification techniques were labor-intensive and time-consuming. This made manipulation of DNA, the &#039;software of life&#039;, very expensive. Only specialized laboratories ventured into these techniques. That changed with the arrival of CRISPR-Cas around 2007-2008: genome research has become more accessible to scientists in all kinds of fields. This has led to an explosion of new discoveries and insights in the field of genetics and biology.<\/p>\r\n<h4>The Holy Grail<\/h4>\r\n<p>As a researcher at WUR, Staals was at the cradle of CRISPR-Cas. \u201cCRISPR-Cas is the <em>holy grail<\/em> for genome editing. This is what we always wanted as researchers: a single protein that you can program to cut at a specific location in the DNA. It is also super cheap and efficient.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Since then, Staals and his colleagues have been working almost daily on further developments within the various CRISPR-Cas technologies, in addition to related research. \u201cAbout half of my CRISPR-Cas research is fundamental research with the central question: how do these systems work?\u201d says the associate professor. \u201cThere are still many question marks, specifically about the so-called type III system. These systems are at least as interesting as the widely used Cas9. Especially in diagnostics, such as in the development of biosensors.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cI currently have about ten PhD students in my research group, along with some postdocs, technicians and a lab manager. About 80 to 90 percent of our research focuses on CRISPR-Cas. I have been working on this since 2011, even before technology boomed. Fortunately, there is still more than enough for me to explore. We also do subsidized work for companies and work on metabolic engineering projects. We are also looking with interest at other bacterial defense systems. CRISPR-Cas is based on such an immune system, but there are many others.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The collaboration between Staals and his fellow researchers has already borne fruit, the associate professor says: \u201cThe other half of our work is applied research to use genome editing. I also founded a spin-off company for this with a number of students, <a href=\"https:\/\/scopebio.com\/\">ScopeDX<\/a>. This arose from a competition in which students tried to solve diagnostic problems. They wanted to continue with their findings. ScopeDX is now still a successful spin-off. That is very nice.&quot;<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cThe third major pillar is laboratory evolution,\u201d says Staals. \u201cWe look at systems in nature, but you can make them better by allowing them to evolve in the lab. One of the bottlenecks when using CRISPR-Cas is that they usually cut the DNA in the right place, but sometimes accidentally cut in another place, so-called off targeting. Unfortunately, this happens regularly in practice. And especially in medical applications, you don&#039;t want off targeting. We want to be able to cut the DNA more precisely with the help of laboratory evolution.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<h4>Applications in medicine<\/h4>\r\n<p>Despite the risks of off-targeting, CRISPR-Cas has become an indispensable part of medicine and the development of new medicines and therapies. Scientists believe that CRISPR-Cas will be able to correct genetic abnormalities responsible for hereditary diseases, such as sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis and cystic fibrosis.<\/p>\r\n<p>According to Staals, many successes have been achieved over the past five years and the first patient has now been treated using DNA manipulation based on CRISPR-Cas. And in the coming years, these medical applications will gain momentum, the researcher thinks: \u201cWe will not only use Cas enzymes to cut DNA, but also let them serve as a means of transport. This way we can deliver other enzymes. This could have potential in treating certain types of cancers. And in the future I see other interesting methods to modify the DNA, such as prime editing and base editors. CRISPR-associated transposon homing is also promising.<strong>\u201c&quot;\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>So there is a lot of optimism, although a lot of research into medical applications is taking place outside the Netherlands. \u201cAs pioneers in fundamental knowledge about CRISPR-Cas, the Netherlands, and certainly Wageningen, are among the world&#039;s best. We are still discovering new CRISPR-Cas systems and how they work,\u201d says Staals. \u201cHowever, this is not the case for applications of this technology. For that you have to look at Asia and the US. This also has to do with the fact that European regulations are holding us back somewhat. For example, CRISPR-Cas is still subject to GMO legislation in Europe. Still, I think that relaxing the regulations will happen in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<h4>The future of CRISPR-Cas<\/h4>\r\n<p>In addition to possible relaxed EU regulations, Staals sees another important development that can greatly accelerate the research and application of CRISPR-Cas: artificial intelligence. \u201cWe already use AI. AlphaFold (an AI application that makes predictions about protein structures \u2013 ed.), just like CRISPR-Cas, has been a huge development in my field. During large-scale research, we get so much data thrown at us that it is no longer understandable to us, due to the order of magnitude. AI is actually very good at separating the wheat from the chaff and extracting useful information. And we can also ask AI what the best choices are for starting new experiments.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>As a Swiss army knife, we will hear a lot more about CRISPR-Cas. Because beyond medicine, the technology can be applied to many more areas, from agriculture and food production to cleaning up toxins in the environment (bioremediation) and combating the malaria mosquito, for example. However, a lot of (fundamental) research will still be needed to utilize the full potential of CRISPR-Cas and its successors, regardless of regulation and ethical issues.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><em>Do you want <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/labnl\/ontwikkelingen-in-dna-technologieen\/\"><strong><em>this lecture<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> to attend? <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.databadge.net\/eena2023\/reg\/lab\/\"><strong><em>Register for free<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> for <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/labnl\/\"><strong><em>LabNL<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"articles bg--offwhite automatic\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"articles__header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='heading-wrapper'><svg width=\"13\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 13 13\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle cx=\"6.394\" cy=\"6.5\" r=\"6.394\" fill=\"#000\"\/><\/svg><h2>Related articles<\/h2><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/profiel\/fhi-federatie-van-technologie-branches\/\" class=\"button button--outline\">view profile<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-grid post-grid--no-padding\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\n<a class=\"single-item single-item__articles\" href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/news\/fast-solder-paste-printing-with-speedprint\/\" data-id=\"42459\">\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-icon\">\n\t\t<svg width=\"103\" height=\"103\" viewbox=\"0 0 103 103\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M49.5 98.9587V82.3076C33.3844 81.2758 20.6328 67.878 20.6328 51.5019C20.6328 35.1258 33.3844 21.728 49.5 20.6962V4.04134C24.1941 5.08952 4 25.9365 4 51.5C4 77.0635 24.1941 97.9105 49.5 98.9587ZM53.5 78.2983V61.8096H76.3238C72.5238 70.9498 63.8222 77.5397 53.5 78.2983ZM49.5 78.298V61.8096H26.681C30.4804 70.9484 39.1799 77.5377 49.5 78.298ZM47.0728 57.8096H25.3773C24.8906 55.7865 24.6328 53.6743 24.6328 51.5019C24.6328 37.3358 35.5955 25.7301 49.5 24.7058V37.013H34.0466C33.2709 37.013 32.5653 37.4615 32.2359 38.1637C31.9065 38.8659 32.0128 39.6952 32.5086 40.2916L47.0728 57.8096ZM55.9249 57.8096H77.6274C78.1141 55.7865 78.3719 53.6743 78.3719 51.5019C78.3719 37.3342 67.4068 25.7275 53.5 24.7055V37.013H68.9511C69.7268 37.013 70.4324 37.4615 70.7618 38.1637C71.0912 38.8659 70.9849 39.6952 70.4891 40.2916L55.9249 57.8096ZM53.5 82.3079V98.9587C78.8059 97.9105 99 77.0635 99 51.5C99 25.9365 78.8059 5.08952 53.5 4.04134V20.6959C69.6178 21.7254 82.3719 35.1242 82.3719 51.5019C82.3719 67.8796 69.6178 81.2784 53.5 82.3079ZM0 51.5C0 23.7271 21.9843 1.08883 49.5 0.0381213V0H51.5H53.5V0.0381213C81.0157 1.08883 103 23.7271 103 51.5C103 79.9427 79.9427 103 51.5 103C23.0573 103 0 79.9427 0 51.5ZM38.3102 41.013H64.6875L51.4989 56.8765L38.3102 41.013Z\" fill=\"#2DD881\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-title\"><div class='heading-wrapper'><h3>Fast Solder Paste Printing with Speedprint<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"single-item__articles-terms\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"button button--outline single-item__articles-term--branche single-item__articles-term\">Industrial Electronics<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"button button--outline single-item__articles-term--branche single-item__articles-term\">Design Automation &amp;
