Harvard scientists create gene-editing tool that could rival CRISPR

Mariella Moon

Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biological Inspired Engineering at Harvard have developed a new gene editing tool that allows scientists to conduct millions of genetic experiments simultaneously. They call it the Retron Library Recombineering (RLR) technique, and it uses segments of bacterial DNA called retrons that can produce fragments of single-stranded DNA. When it … Read more
