Genetic Engineering 2.0: An On-Off Switch for Gene Editing – SciTechDaily

A new CRISPR method allows researchers to silence most genes in the human genome without altering the underlying DNA sequence — and then reverse the changes. Credit: Jennifer Cook-Chrysos/Whitehead Institute
New, reversible CRISPR method can control gene expression while leaving underlying DNA sequence unchanged.
Over the past decade, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has revolutionized genetic engineering, allowing scientists to make targeted changes to organisms’ DNA. While the system could…
