Nature: 3D Structures of Proteins Iinvolved in Genome Editing
Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The well-known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system confers immunity against foreign DNA to prokaryotes (organisms lacking a cell nucleus). Since the discovery of CRISPR gene editing technology, scientists have revealed how CRISPR-cas proteins evolved from their precursors. This knowledge will help them develop other small new…
