Amazing work from my talented lab-mates. Check out this phage-encoded RNA-guided system that recognizes DNA with a noncontiguous code unlike CRISPR.

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR.
We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets.
