Abstract
CRISPR-Cas9 has been touted for therapeutic genome editing, but limitations include inefficient correction of disease-causing mutations and off-target mutagenesis. In the latest issue of Cell, Liao et al. (2017) show that a modified version of CRISPR-Cas9 can target and activate key therapeutic genes in vivo without altering DNA sequence identity.Mesh:
