Cas9 Is the New Kid on the Block in DNA Amplification
Researchers have now developed a new, inexpensive method for DNA amplification: the Cas9n-based amplification reaction (Cas9nAR). It consists of a single step in homogeneous solution, and takes place at a constant temperature of 37 °C.

Illuminating the Genome
Commonly referred to as a genome editing tool, many scientists have found different applications for the scissor-like properties of the Cas9-protein. Researchers have now found a way to utilise the RNA/protein complex in a slightly different way - as a cytogenetic torch.
