CRISPR Has a Problem: It Mangles DNA It Wasn’t Supposed to Touch – Futurism
CRISPR Cas9 isn’t as precise as we all thought.
The gene-editing technology CRISPR Cas9 may not be the ultra-precise tool that researchers long thought it to be.
A growing body of evidence suggests that the tech, which allows researchers to remove, replace, or insert new DNA sequences into a cells genetic code, tends to also make unintended genetic changes too. The latest study showing these errant on-site edits comes from scientists at the Francis Crick Institute (FCI). They looked back at previous CRISPR studies including their own and found…
