María Rodríguez-López and Cristina Cotobal, Postdoctoral Fellows in Jürg Bähler’s lab at University College London recently published a very detailed Method Article on a new CRISPR/Cas9-based protocol and primer design tool. We asked them to explain what CRISPR/Cas9 is, what it can be used for and why they decided to publish their article on our platform.

‘Hepitopes’ is a new online resource, comprising a database of immune responses to Hepatitis B virus (HBV). We believe this will be an important resource for the HBV research community, with implications that range from characterising the basic science of virology and immunology, through to informing vaccine design and understanding clinical outcomes of infection. The database is designed as a live interactive resource that will evolve and develop over time, with improvements in the quality and content of the data, links to other tools and resources, and the potential to underpin scientific dialogue and new collaborations.
