•Princeton researchers bend DNA strands with light to probe the genome
66% Informative
Princeton researchers have developed a tool that can bend DNA strands using light to study gene expression to never before seen depths.
The work represents a new way to probe the genome, which holds promise for finding new solutions to diseases such as cancer.
They compare the new tool to CRISPR technology, except it doesn’t edit the gene but opens up a way to understand and possibly treat certain classes of disease, specifically related to protein imbalances.
