Scientists Created an ‘On-Off Switch’ for Gene Editing | IE – Interesting Engineering
CRISPR changes are now fully reversible, and the world will never be the same.
The gene-editing system CRISPR-Cas9 which has revolutionized genetic engineering over the past decade involves cutting DNA strands which is a process that can be quite hard to control and can result in unwanted genetic changes. Now, thanks to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), a new gene-editing technology called CRISPRoff can change that, according to a press release.
The technique, described in a paper published in Cell…
