Key points from article :
New CRISPR technologies are CAMERA, DETECTR, and SHERLOCK.
CAMERA reads out for the cell’s historical exposure to antibiotics or toxins.
SHERLOCK uses sacrificial RNA molecules detect presence of virus or cancer DNA.
DETECTR could turn CRISPR into a sensitive one-step diagnostic tool.
More research is exploring CRISPR applications beyond gene therapy.
