HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 21 -- Rice University issued the following news release:
To make a gene-editing tool more precise and easier to control, Rice University engineers split it into two pieces that only come back together when a third small molecule is added.
Researchers in the lab of chemical and biomolecular engineer Xue Sherry Gao created a CRISPR-based gene editor designed to target adenine one of the four main DNA building blocks that remains inactive when disasse . . .
