Novel strategy hits 'reset button' for disease-causing genetic duplications

Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - 11:20 in Biology & Nature

Scientists have developed a strategy for editing and repairing a particular type of genetic mutation associated with microduplications using CRISPR/Cas9 and a seldom-used DNA repair pathway. This approach to programmable gene editing overcomes prior inefficiencies in gene correction.
