The joint research and development team of Kobe University and the University of Tokyo announced on August 4, 2016 that they have successfully developed a new approach to improve the efficiency of gene editing technology. The specific results were published on the electronic version of the well-known American magazine Science.
Gene editing technology mainly performs selective knocking of DNA to achieve knock-out and addition of specific DNA fragments, thereby weakening or enhancing the ability of a certain genetic gene.
"Target-AID" is a new method for gene editing without cutting DNA, and will be applied in the fields of plant variety improvement, pharmaceuticals, and genetic gene therapy.
The researchers extracted enzymes from specific proteins and lamprey, and Target-AID changed the genes by allowing them to move within the cell.
