New CRISPR-Based Tool Called PASTE Gene Editing Inserts Large DNA Sequences at Desired Sites

XTalks

Expanding upon the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, researchers at MIT have designed a new technique called PASTE gene editing that can cut out defective genes and replace them with new genes in a safer and more efficient way. The PASTE gene editing technique was recently published in Nature Biotechnology.

Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because these technologies involve literally cutting DNA at a specific point in the genome. Zinc fingers. That would just slow the whole field down.
