CRISPR-Cas12a target binding unleashes indiscriminate single-stranded DNase activity

TL;DR: It is shown that RNA-guided DNA binding unleashes indiscriminate single-stranded DNA cleavage activity by Cas12a that completely degrades ssDNA molecules, which is also a property of other type V CRISPR-Cas12 enzymes.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England.

TL;DR: Using a variety of statistical and dynamic modeling approaches, the authors estimate that this variant has a 43 to 90% (range of 95% credible intervals, 38 to 130%) higher reproduction number than preexisting variants, and a fitted two-strain dynamic transmission model shows that VOC 202012/01 will lead to large resurgences of COVID-19 cases.
