CRISPR/Cas genome engineering system generates valuable conditional mouse models

Thursday, August 29, 2013 - 11:00 in Biology & Nature

Whitehead Institute researchers have used the gene regulation system CRISPR/Cas to engineer mouse genomes containing reporter and conditional alleles in one step. Animals containing such sophisticated engineered alleles can now be made in a matter of weeks rather than years and could be used to model diseases and study gene function.
