Engineered mini CRISPR enzyme gets 60-fold power boost
Original: Engineered mini CRISPR enzyme gets a 60-fold power boost for gene editing
Researchers have engineered a compact CRISPR enzyme that is reportedly 60 times more powerful at gene editing than before, according to a report from Bioengineer.org. The mini enzyme, redesigned for greater efficiency, could make gene editing more precise and easier to deliver into cells, an ongoing challenge with larger CRISPR systems. Details of the work, including which organism the enzyme comes from and where it was tested, were not provided in the coverage.
Why now: Advances in CRISPR engineering attract attention because they could improve the safety and delivery of future gene therapies.
