#31 — CRISPR can do more than edit DNA. Cas13, a CRISPR-associated protein that can bind and cut RNA, provides the power of CRISPR for studying RNA. Listen to the episode to discover how you can use Cas13 to knock-down, modify or track RNAs in mammalian cells. Plus learn how Cas13 can help you detect specific RNAs in patient samples in a matter of minutes.
