Principles of Gene Editing Larry H. Bernstein, MD, FCAP, Curator LPBI EDITING Researchers are learning how to use synthetic RNA sequences to control the cutting of any piece of DNA they choose. The cell will repair the cut, but an imperfect repair may disable the gene. Or a snippet of different DNA can be inserted […]
