A foundation for future research: Study tests precision of protein 'machine'

Since its discovery, researchers have hailed Cas9—a protein "machine" that can be programmed by a strand of RNA to target specific DNA sequences and to precisely cut, paste, and turn on or turn off genes—as a potential key to unlocking a host of new treatments and therapies for genetic conditions, but only if they fully understand how it works.
