This is a timeline of CRISPR (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), a mechanism that allows cells to record over time the viruses that they have been exposed to.
Contents
Big picture
Year/period | Key developments |
---|---|
1970s | The recombinant DNA technology is developed. This would mark the beginning of a new era for biology. For the first time, molecular biologists would gain the ability to manipulate DNA molecules, making it possible to study genes and use them to develop novel medicine and biotechnology.[1] |
1980s | The polymerase chain reaction revolutionizes molecular biology by making it much easier to quickly copy a piece of DNA thousands of millions of times, speeding the pace of medical research even further.[2] |
1987 | Yoshizumi Ishino discovers what later would be known as CRISPR. |
2002 | CRISPR is characterized and given its name.[3] |
2005 | CRISPR becomes implicated in immunity.[3] |
2007 | CRISPR shows to provide acquired resistance against bacterial viruses.[3][4] |
2011–present | CRISPR starts becoming relevant within the scientific community. Hundreds of millions of dollars would start to be raised as startup capital for biotechnology companies that are using the technique.[5] The number of CRISPR publications would increase by 1,453% from 2011 to 2016.[6] A patent race would start between Berkeley University and the Broad Institute. |
Full timeline
Year/period | Type of event | Event | Location/launch base | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1987 | Discovery | Japanese molecular biologist Yoshizumi Ishino, working at Osaka University, discovers a new type of repeated sequence in prokaryotes, while studying the escherichia coli gene iap.[7] | Japan (Osaka) | |
1991 | Scientific development | Researchers discover direct repeats (DRs) in mycobacteria.[3] | ||
1993 | Scientific development | Spanish microbiologist Francisco Mojica, working at the University of Alicante becomes the first to characterize what is now called a CRISPR locus, a molecular memory of MGE (mobile genetic element) encounters (in other words, a memory of all previous attacks by invaders).[8][9][10] | Spain (Alicante) | |
1993 | Scientific development | Francisco Mojica and colleagues discover tandem repeats (TREPs) in haloarchaea. The same year, the team reports evidence for TREPs transcription.[3] | ||
1993 | Scientific development | Researchers develop a method of strain differentiation, direct variable repeat polymer chain reaction (DVR-PCR), which enables typing of individual mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in a single PCR. This would be the first typing method based on the repeats.[3][11] | ||
1995 | Scientific development | Francisco Mojica and colleagues report evidence of tandem repeats (TREPs) activity while studying Haloferax volcanii and Haloferax mediterranei. [3][12] | ||
1998 | Scientific development | Researchers find a repeat array in an archaeal conjugative plasmid.[13][3] | ||
2000 (January 18) | Scientific development | Francisco Mojica and colleagues report recognition and description of what would be described as Short Regularly Spaced Repeats (SRSR) family.[14][3][12][15] | ||
2002 | Scientific development | Ruud Jansen, working at Utrecht University, introduces the term CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), to describe the repeats. The same year, Jansen and colleagues report identification of core CRISPR associated genes or cas genes (a number of genes that are always located near the CRISPR sequences and that encode nuclease or helicase proteins, which can cut or unwind DNA).[7][3][16] | Netherlands (Utrecht) | |
2003 | Scientific development | Researchers report the first experimental identification of a protein interacting with CRISPR DNA repeats.[3] | ||
2005 (May) | Scientific development | Russian scientist Alexander Bolotin, working at Institut national de la recherche agronomique, discovers an unusual CRISPR locus while studying the bacteria streptococcus thermophilus. Although similar to previously reported systems, the CRISPR array discovered would lack some of the known cas genes and instead contained novel cas genes, including one encoding a large protein they predicted to have nuclease activity, which is now known as Cas9. Bolotin's team would also note that the spacers, which have homology to viral genes, all share a common sequence at one end. This sequence would be later known as protospacer adjacent motif (PAM).[8][3] | France | |
2005 (August) | Scientific development | Researchers at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique in Paris reveal the origin of the spacers in CRISPR elements. This would provide a new and robust identification tool for the CRISPR structure.[17][3] | France | |
2005 (November) | Scientific development | American scientists, working at the The Institute for Genomic Research, classify 45 CRISPR-associated (Cas) protein families and multiple CRISPR/Cas subtypes in prokaryotic genomes.[3][18][15] | ||
2006 | Scientific development | Russian-American biologist Eugene Koonin and his collaborators, suggest that the CRISPR-Cas system is a prokaryotic RNA interference–based immune system.[7] | ||
2006 | Scientific development | Researchers report evidence for horizontal transfer of CRISPR systems.[19][7] | ||
2007 | Scientific development | Researchers classify CRISPR–Cas systems based on repeats.[7] | ||
2007 | Scientific development | French scientists Rodolphe Barrangou, Philippe Horvath and their collaborators, working at food manufacturing company Danisco, demonstrate that the CRISPR-Cas system provides acquired immunity against bacteriophages.[7][3][4] | United States | |
2008 | Scientific development | Scientists conceive the term "protospacer" to indicate viral sequence that corresponds to a "spacer" in the CRISPR-Cas9 system.[15] | ||
2008 | Scientific development | Researchers demonstrate that DNA, not RNA, is the molecular target of most CRISPR-Cas systems.[15] | ||
2008 | Scientific development | Researchers demonstrate the rapidly changing spacer contents of CRISPR arrays in environmental biofilms.[3] | ||
2008 (August) | Scientific development | Research teams, working at Wageningen University, University of Sheffield, and the United States National Institutes of Health characterize the RNA processing pathway in CRISPR system.[15] | ||
2008 | Scientific development | Researchers demonstrate CRISPR interference against plasmids.[3] | ||
2008 | Scientific development | Researchers identify a ribonucleoprotein complex (Cascade) responsible for processing of pre–crRNA to crRNA (CRISPR RNA).[3] | ||
2008 | Scientific development | Researchers, working at University of Georgia, and Florida State University, publish the RNA gene silencing pathway involved in the CRISPR-Cas mechanism. | ||
2010 | Scientific development | The basic function and mechanisms of CRISPR systems become clear, after a variety of research groups begin to harness the natural CRISPR system for various biotechnological applications, including the generation of phage-resistant dairy cultures and phylogenetic classification of bacterial strains.[1] | ||
2010 | Scientific development | Scientists develop concept of CRISPR autoimmunity.[20][3] | ||
2011 | Scientific development | Researchers determine through cryo-electron microscopy the structure of type I targeting complex (cascade).[3] | ||
2011 | Scientific development | Lithuanian biochemist Virginijus Šikšnys and colleagues first demonstrate that the type II CRISPR system is transferrable, in that transplantation of the type II CRISPR locus from streptococcus thermophilus into escherichia coli is able to reconstitute CRISPR interference in a different bacterial strain.[1] | ||
2011 | Scientific development | Scientists characterize type II Trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA)–based processing mechanism.[3] | ||
2011 | Organization | Caribou Biosciences is launched as a CRISPR startup by scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, to drive the commercialization of applications based on the remarkable nucleic acid modification capabilities found in prokaryotic CRISPR systems.[2][21] | ||
2011 | Scientific development | Team of scientists reclassify Cas proteins and CRISPR systems.[22][3] | ||
