Scientists can now edit multiple genome fragments at a time:Toronto scientists have developed a more powerful genome editing method to allow editing of multiple genes at a time.
Scientists can now edit multiple sites in the genome at the same time to learn how different DNA stretches co-operate in health and disease.
Unlike the CRISPR-Cas9 technology, CHyMErA combines two different DNA-cutting enzymes, Cas9 and Cas12a, to allow more versatile applications.
"Once we identify exons that have a critical role in disease, we can use this information to develop new therapies".
