CRISPR/Cas9 Labeling System Makes A GPS For The Genome

Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 17:40 in Biology & Nature

A new app for finding and mapping chromosomal loci uses multicolored versions of CRISPR/Cas9. The labeling system, developed by  the University of Massachusetts Medical School, could be a key to understanding the spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression by allowing researchers to measure the precise linear distance between two known points on different chromosomes or two locations on the same chromosome in live human cells.  read more
