In the fight against infections, it is also being researched as an antiviral agent, as Cas13b can target the genome of viruses and render them harmless. Despite these promising features, researchers are looking for nuclease inhibitors that can control or stop such activities. The aim is to increase the safety and efficacy of future therapies and to help prevent off-target effects.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-05-deep-gene-therapies-antiviral-drugs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">New study indicates how deep learning can improve gene therapies and antiviral drugs<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nuclease Cas13b associated with CRISPR defense systems\u2014also known as genetic scissors\u2014has the potential to be used in the future in hereditary diseases to silence adverse genes.
