Gene Replacements and Insertions in Rice via Intron-Targeting CRISPR |
 Sequence-specific nucleases have been exploited to create targeted gene knockouts in various plants. However, replacing a fragment and even obtaining gene insertions at specific loci in plant genomes remain challenging. Chinese Academy of Sciences' Jun Li, along with a group of researchers, describes an efficient intron-mediated site-specific gene replacement and insertion that generate mutations using non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) using CRISPR/Cas9.
