New genetic copycatchers detect efficient and precise CRISPR editing in a living organism – EurekAlert
Scientists have developed a novel genetic sensor called a ”CopyCatcher,” which capitalizes on CRISPR-based gene drive technology, to detect instances in which…

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have laid the groundwork for a potential new type of gene therapy using novel CRISPR-based techniques.
Working in fruit flies and human cells, research led by UC San Diego Postdoctoral Scholar Zhiqian Li in…
