Beyond CRISPR: Scientists Develop New Tool for Cutting DNA

An INRS research team has identified a new family of enzymes that can make precise cuts in single-stranded DNA. A few years ago, the introduction of CRISPR technology marked a significant breakthrough in the scientific community. Derived from a component of the bacterial immune system, CRISPR enables precise cuts in double-stranded DNA, allowing scientists to [...]
