Scientists at the University of Sydney have developed a gene-editing tool with greater accuracy and flexibility than CRISPR. SeekRNA uses a programmable ribonucleic acid (RNA) strand that can directly identify sites for insertion in genetic sequences, simplifying the editing process and reducing errors. This can introduce errors.
