Linking phenotypes to genotypes: A newly devised gene-editing strategy

(Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience) Taniguchi and colleagues developed a new methodology that allows the study of CRISPR-mediated effects in cells while accurately ascertaining the exact DNA changes that caused them. This novel protocol is opening up new avenues of study for neurobiology and further upgrade the already powerful abilities of CRISPR-based techniques.
