CRISPR Gene Editing Unintentionally Causes Changes in Gene Regulation

A new scientific publication shows that CRISPR/Cas gene scissor applications in animals unintentionally leave traces. The findings, as commented on by Testbiotech, are not related to unintended changes in the DNA, which have often been described, but to gene regulation, i.e. epigenetics. The effects are heritable and may, for example, result in disruption of embryonic development, … Continue reading CRISPR Gene Editing Unintentionally Causes Changes in Gene Regulation
