Scientists identify critical cancer immunity genes using new genetic barcoding technology

(The Mount Sinai Hospital / Mount Sinai School of Medicine) Mount Sinai Scientists developed a novel way to barcode and track different CRISPRs by utilizing synthetic proteins built from combinations of smaller proteins, called epitopes. By being able to mark each CRISPR with a unique identifier, the protein barcodes, or Pro-Codes for short, enable hundreds of CRISPRs to be used together to knockout a multitude of genes.
