Toolbox Enables Genome Engineering Without CRISPR |
|
A new toolbox for genome engineering has been reported in Nature Communications. It contains 16 different short DNA sequences that can cause controlled and specific recombination events in any genome and overcomes some limitations of CRISPR. The toolbox was designed by experts from the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology.
