June 19, 2018 | Terry Sharrer
A synthetic guide molecule appears to increase the targeting accuracy in CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, according to a research group at the University of Alberta. Specifically, they say: “”Our research shows that the use of bridged nucleic acids to guide Cas9 can improve its specificity by over 10,000 times in certain instances. . . .” MORE
