Researchers test DNA editing, recommend steps to improve accuracy

By studying the effects of DNA variants between people, researchers can gain insights into the genetics of diseases. It allows them to tailor medical treatment to a person's genetic makeup. Modeling variants in an experimental setup is a common way for researchers to gain this knowledge. The CRISPR-Cas9 system, a broadly used gene editing tool, allows researchers to precisely change the sequence of a genome and study the effects of that genetic variation on cellular…
