Two New Techniques May Enhance Genetic Engineering With CRISPR

Scientists have discovered two new methods capable of enhancing the efficiency of genetic engineering, and these new gene modification techniques could be huge when it comes to future research studies. The two new methods are called the IsODN (long single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide) and 2H2OP (two-hit two-oligo...
