CRISPR 2.0 Is Here, and It's Way More Precise
MIT Technology Review You've probably heard of the molecular scalpel CRISPR-Cas9, which can edit or delete whole genes. Now, scientists have developed a more precise version of the DNA-editing tool that can repair even smaller segments of a person's genome. In two studies … Gene-editing tool CRISPR can now manipulate more types of genetic material New CRISPR tool alters RNA for wider gene editing applications Novel CRISPR-derived 'base editors' surgically alter DNA or RNA, offering new ways to fix mutations |
