Barcoding long DNA quantifies CRISPR effects

Current sequencing techniques lack the sensitivity to detect rare gene mutations in a pool of cells, which is particularly important, for example, in early cancer detection. Now, scientists at KAUST have developed an approach, called targeted individual DNA molecule sequencing (IDMseq), that can accurately detect a single mutation in a pool of 10,000 cells.
