UC Santa Cruz researcher develops innovative CRISPRware software
Briefly

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.
