RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Jan. 17 -- The North Carolina Biotechnology Center issued the following news release:
The Raleigh bioscience spinout of North Carolina State University is using a version of the hot gene-editing technology called CRISPR to cut a new path to the discovery and development of novel antibiotics. In a biotech bow to Pac-Man, it's coaxing naturally occurring microscopic enzymes to chomp away DNA in bad bacteria in order to kill the target pathogen.
