Genome engineering of Drosophila with the CRISPR RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease

TLDR
A bacterial CRISPR RNA/Cas9 system is adapted to precisely engineer the Drosophila genome and it is reported that Cas9-mediated genomic modifications are efficiently transmitted through the germline.
Abstract
We have adapted a bacterial CRISPR RNA/Cas9 system to precisely engineer the Drosophila genome and report that Cas9-mediated genomic modifications are efficiently transmitted through the germline. This RNA-guided Cas9 system can be rapidly programmed to generate targeted alleles for probing gene function in Drosophila.

CRISPR provides acquired resistance against viruses in prokaryotes

TL;DR: It is found that, after viral challenge, bacteria integrated new spacers derived from phage genomic sequences, and CRISPR provided resistance against phages, and resistance specificity is determined by spacer-phage sequence similarity.
