Mashup Score: 43Junk DNA in birds may hold key to safe, efficient gene therapy - 2 month(s) ago
For many genetic diseases, disabling or editing a gene using CRISPR is insufficient to overcome the effects of the underlying genetic mutation. A corrective gene needs to be added to the genome to fix the problem. Researchers have discovered a way to use a bird retrotransposon — a type of junk DNA — to insert whole transgenes into the human genome in a targeted way that does not risk damaging other genes.
