Un nouveau type de ciseaux moléculaires pour améliorer CRISPR
Gènéthique
Dans une étude publiée dans Nature, des scientifiques ont révélé la structure et l’action d’un nouveau type de « ciseaux moléculaires », connus sous le nom de Cpf1, un ARN guide endonucléasique, ce qui peut améliorer l’édition du génome CRISPR.
