Sentences with phrase «edit specific sequences»

Not exact matches

CRISPR - Cas9 is a versatile and highly accurate gene - editing technology that allows researchers to modify specific parts of an organism's genome by altering sections of the DNA sequence.

The genome - editing technique known as CRISPR allows scientists to clip a specific DNA sequence and replace it with a new one, offering the potential to cure diseases caused by defective genes.

«Understanding how Cas9 is able to locate specific 20 - base - pair target sequences within genomes that are millions to billions of base pairs long may enable improvements to gene targeting and genome editing efforts in bacteria and other types of cells,» says Doudna who holds joint appointments with Berkeley Lab's Physical Biosciences Division and UC Berkeley's Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and Department of Chemistry, and is also an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).

In the lab, DNA can be edited at will, changing specific sequences, or adding new ones.

This gives researchers a way to use CRISPR - Cas9 to effectively delete a gene, rather than editing the sequence in a more specific way.

The new article, yet to be peer - reviewed or published, concludes, «Taken together, these whole - genome - sequencing - level results support the idea that in specific cases, CRISPR - Cas9 editing can precisely edit the genome at the organismal level and may not introduce numerous, unintended, off - target mutations.»

Both sit together for this running, screen - specific look at the tale's origins and development, various story / character issues and influences, cast and performances, the flick's title, sets and visual design, music, audio and editing, abandoned / altered sequences, animation and technical topics, and trivia.
