CRISPRware, developed by UC Santa Cruz Ph.D. student Eric Malekos, streamlines gene editing, assisting research into genetic conditions like sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis. This software was detailed in a paper co-authored with Christy Montano and guided by professor Susan Carpenter, who studies long non-coding RNAs in relation to inflammatory responses and their roles in autoinflammatory diseases. RNA, particularly in this research context, plays a pivotal role in gene regulation without coding directly for proteins, highlighting its importance in genetic and biomedical research.
Dr. Susan Carpenter's lab primarily investigates the role of long non-coding RNA in regulating inflammation and its connection to autoinflammatory diseases, pushing against traditional RNA's protein-coding roles.
CRISPRware offers a breakthrough approach in gene editing, streamlining the process for researchers, notably in developing genetic therapies for conditions like sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis.
