Chinese scientists report gene editing tool better than CRISPR

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, genetics

The new tool has the capacity to undertake strand-specific gene editing without any cuts.

Chinese researchers claim to have created a new gene-editing technique called CyDENT that is more effective than Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology.

This is according to a report by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) published on Saturday.

The cutting-edge gene-editing technique CRISPR enables precise DNA changes within an organism’s genome. Its development in the past few years has significantly advanced genetic engineering and biotechnology.
