CRISPR: The End for Zinc Fingers?

CRISPR: The End for Zinc Fingers? | Genetic Engineering Publications - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

The past decade has brought rapid and significant innovations in genome-editing techniques. For the first time researchers have the opportunity to manipulate essentially any gene in a plethora of cells and organisms, using targeted nucleases that were designed for sequence-specific binding of the DNA.

Measuring and Reducing Off-Target Activities of Programmable Nucleases Including CRISPR-Cas9

Measuring and Reducing Off-Target Activities of Programmable Nucleases Including CRISPR-Cas9 | Genetic Engineering Publications - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it



BigField GEG Tech's insight:

In this review, the authors compare methods for detecting nuclease off-target mutations. They also review methods for profiling genome-wide off-target effects and discuss how to reduce or avoid offtarget mutations.
