- GlowCas9, a bioluminescent CRISPR-Cas9 protein engineered by the Bose Institute, Kolkata.
- It fuses Cas9 with split nano-luciferase fragments from deep-sea shrimp, which emit light when Cas9 becomes active.
- The system allows real-time monitoring of gene-editing activity inside living cells, tissues, and plant leaves without harming them.
- GlowCas9 shows greater thermal stability and enhances homology-directed repair, improving precise DNA correction.
- The technology enables theratracking, allowing scientists to observe therapeutic gene editing as it occurs in real time.
