The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system is an extremely ... To investigate, the team generated many different mutations of Cas9, then tested how well they were able to single out a target sequence ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have addressed a longstanding challenge in CRISPR ...

Point mutations change one or very few nucleotides in DNA ... Can today’s gene editing technologies help? CRISPR-Cas9 is versatile but lacks efficiency when correcting single-base mutations. Newer ...

Applications: Base editing is useful for correcting point mutations that cause genetic diseases. Limitations: While more precise than traditional CRISPR-Cas9, base editing has its own limitations.
