Dharmacon™ Edit-R™ has been featured in over 20 peer-reviewed publications since 2015

Check out our recommended reading list! It includes the Dharmacon Edit-R CRISPR-Cas9 system, and custom crRNAs and RNAs, used for gene editing in mammalian cells and in other exciting, creative applications.

Did you know that synthetic crRNA:tracrRNA with Cas9 protein can be delivered as a ribonucleoprotein for functional genetic screening in primary human T cells (Hultquist, 2016)?

Or, for instance, that CRISPR-Cas9 with synthetic RNAs can be used for identification of plasmids that confer bacterial resistance (Müller, 2016)?

Edit-R has also been successfully applied to uncover gene functions in nematodes (Delaney, 2017 and Paix, 2015).
