Being able to study the 3D-structure of a CRISPR base editor could help refine the entire CRISPR system, says lead study author Jennifer Doudna, PhD Molecular biology laboratories engaged in CRISPR gene editing will be interested to note that researchers at the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley) have created for the first time a three-dimensional (3D) view of the molecular structure of a base editor for CRISPR-Cas9. This breakthrough may lead to new, more accurate gene-editing...
