CRISPRn.

Brit.

/ˈkrɪspə/, U.S.

/ˈkrɪspər/

Forms: 2000s– CRISPR, 2000s– Crispr.

Origin: Formed within English, as an acronym. Etymon: English Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats.

Etymology: Acronym < the initial letters of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats.

Biology.

a. A segment of prokaryotic DNA involved in the cell's defence mechanisms against viruses, consisting of short, repeating, palindromic base sequences interspersed with spacer sequences (spacer n.¹ 4) derived from a virus or plasmid that has previously attacked the cell. Frequently attributive.The spacers in CRISPR DNA allow it to encode RNAs that recognize such sequences in a foreign genome, at which sequences the RNA molecules bind in a complex with associated proteins that act as molecular scissors and cut the genomic DNA.

2014 New Scientist 25 Jan. 42/3 The CRISPR system can be seen as a form of Lamarckian evolution—an adaptation acquired during an individual's lifetime is passed onto its offspring.

b. Any of various genomic engineering techniques incorporating a CRISPR sequence of DNA and its associated proteins and RNA, used in gene editing and regulation.

2013 Independent 7 Nov. 1/2 For the first time, scientists are able to engineer any part of the human genome with extreme precision using a revolutionary new technique called Crispr.

2015 Garden City (Kansas) Telegram 8 May a4 The technique, known as CRISPR, is faster and cheaper than other gene-editing practices; but it has stirred a firestorm of controversy.
