New Israeli tech gives accuracy boost to microscopic scissors for DNA editing – The Times of Israel
The CRISPR technique snips DNA, but what if it cuts the wrong location in the genome without scientists realizing? Software innovation provides alerts
Israeli scientists have developed a quality assurance method for genome editing, which they say has the power to make it easier to translate DNA technologies from theory to treatments.
The CRISPR genome editing system works by cutting DNA with microscopic scissors and fixing it. The method is deployed to address some genetic disorders, and there are huge efforts to expand its use.
But one of the teething troubles is accuracy. Like every house has an address you use to find it, every gene has an…
