7 Gene Editing Companies Investors Should Watch
HOW WAS IT DONE?
The team tried to tweak the gene responsible for ß-thalassaemia, a potentially deadly blood disorder, using a germ line editing technique known as CRISPR/Cas9. CRISPR technology precisely changes target parts of genetic code. Unlike other gene-silencing tools, the CRISPR system targets the genome’s source material...
