CRISPR used to peer into human embryos' first days
Nature.com Published online today in Nature, the study relied on CRISPR–Cas9, a gene-editing system that can make precise changes to DNA in the genome. In this case, researchers harnessed CRISPR–Cas9 to disrupt the production of a protein called OCT4 that is … In a first, human embryos edited to explore gene function Scientists use gene-editing technology to knock out genes in human embryos for first time CRISPR opens window into early stages of human embryo development |
