News - CRISPR Gene Editing
CRISPR Cas9 interaction with target DNA

It has been reported (but not confirmed by publication) that USA scientists have gene-edited embryos using CRISPR. This follows on from an earlier 2015 published work (PMID 25894090) from China using the same technique see Nature 22 April 2015 and a more recent 2017 paper (PMID 28251317).

See also editing in the mouse zygote (PMID 25819794).

About CRISPR

The CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing system was derived from the adaptive immune system evolved in bacteria to defend against invading plasmids and viruses.
