Depending on the targeted spot of the human genome, CRISPR gene editing can give rise to cell toxicity and genomic instability, Barcelona Institute for Research in Biomedicine scientists report1. CRISPR/Cas9 is a gene editing technique whose developers were the subject of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This adverse effect involves the linchpin tumour suppressor…

Protein Level DNA Barcoding Identifies Key Cancer Immunity Genes
A new technology for simultaneously analyzing the functions of hundreds of genes with resolution reaching the single cell level has been developed by scientists at Mount Sinai Hospital. The method relies on a barcoding approach using a novel protein. Since the sequencing of the first human genome in the early 2000s revealed a set of…
