Previous studies have shown that the emerging gene-editing technology called CRISPR can have off-target effects. A new study shows that CRISPR can be used with a high degree of specificity to deliver proteins controlling DNA packaging, in effect exerting epigenetic controls that alter gene expression without changing the coding portions of DNA.
