Researchers employed one-molecule imaging to examine the genome-enhancing resources CRISPR-Cas9 and TALEN. Their experiments discovered that TALEN is up to five situations a lot more productive than CRISPR-Cas9 in areas of the genome, referred to as heterochromatin, that are densely packed. Fragile X syndrome, sickle mobile anemia, beta-thalassemia and other […]
