How it works
Upon infection with an RNA virus, the viral genome is released into the cell, where it is amplified, and its transcripts translated into proteins to form additional copies of the virus.
CRISPR/Cas13 enzymes cleave different sites of the viral genome and its transcripts guided through a combination of virus specific crRNAs. Proliferation of the virus is blocked, and transcription of viral toxic proteins is reduced.
