New Method Enables Multiplex Genome Engineering

“A consortium of scientists [including The Rockefeller University] announced that they had devised a way to enable simultaneous editing of several sites within the mammalian genome. The technology, based on a bacterial defense system against viruses, could offer an easy-to-use, less-expensive way to engineer organisms that produce biofuels, to design animal models to study human disease, and to develop new therapies, among other potential applications.”
