FREDERICK, Maryland, Aug. 13 -- The National Institutes of Health's Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research issued the following news:
CRISPR is one of the most widely used technologies in the nascent quest to edit the human genome, and the precision "instrument" that makes it so effective is Cas9, a programmable enzyme harnessed from bacterial cells that cuts DNA strands at specific targets and replaces one gene with another.
In a July 8 paper publi . . .
