Scientists have opened a new frontier in the fast-evolving field of gene editing with the discovery of a way to programme the recombination and rearrangement of DNA.
The novel technique promises to expand on the possibilities of existing methods such as Crispr gene editing, which is driving research in areas from cancer prevention to cutting cows’ methane emissions.
The so-called bridge RNA method devised by researchers at California’s non-profit Arc Institute could enable more precise modifications of genetic code and avoid the need to break sequences and later repair them.
