dCas9 Protein Allele Sequestration for
Improved CRISPR Gene Editing
style="line-height:normal">
Invention Summary:
CRISPR technology is widely used in research to edit genes in animals and cell lines and is moving towards therapeutic use in the clinic. Inherent to almost all methods employed in gene editing is the lack of control in target gene usage. A method to direct cleavage of only a single target within...
