A team of researchers led by Feng Zhang at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT has uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in eukaryotes -; organisms that include fungi, plants, and animals.
Researchers have discovered the first programmable RNA-guided system discovered in eukaryotes. The technology, known as Fanzor, has the potential to be more easily delivered to cells and tissues than CRISPR-Cas systems, and further refinements could make them a valuable new technology for human genome editing.
