New Way of Precisely Altering Genomes of Cells Developed

A new technique of altering the genomes of living cells, by adding or deleting genes, which is easy to use and less expensive way to engineer organisms that produce biofuels has been developed by researchers at Rockefeller University, the Broad Institute and MIT. To create their new genome-editing technique, the researchers modified a set of bacterial proteins that normally defend against viral invaders. Using this system, scientists can alter several genome sites ...
