#JenniferDoudna’s team discovered #VIPR, a pre-CRISPR viral #RNA-guided system that uses an ancestral RAMP protein and a noncontiguous "1-nt skip" pairing code (NN-x-NN) for PAM-free programmable gene repression. 🧬🤖 #Science2026 #CRISPR #UCBerkeley #GeneEditing

🧬 Reported this week: VIPR offers a new way to silence genes. Promising for molecular tools—and perhaps future antiviral therapies. Early days! #VIPR #MolecularBiology
