In a study published in Nature Biotechnology on Aug. 28, GAO Caixia’s group at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and her collaborators at Qi Biodesign had reported a modular, CRISPR-free base editing system, which they called CyDENT, to achieve effective base editing in the nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplast genomes of plant and human cells. Genome editing enabled the efficient and precise modification of genetic information in living organisms, revolutionizing life science research as a whole. In recent years, the advent of base editing technology had made genome editing even more precise and predictable. David L...

Sourced from [www.broadinstitute.org] titled “Questions and Answers about CRISPR”. CRISPR-Cas9 can also be used to target multiple genes simultaneously, which is another advantage that sets it apart from other gene-editing tools. CRISPR genome editing allows scientists to quickly create cell and animal models, which researchers can use to accelerate research into diseases such as cancer and mental illness. In addition, CRISPR is now being developed as a rapid diagnostic. To help encourage this type of research worldwide, Feng Zhang and his team have trained thousands of researchers in the use of CRISPR genome editing technology through direct education and by sharing m...
