Scientists working in the Marine Biology Laboratory at the University of Chicago have announced a breakthrough. The team has achieved the first gene knockout NSF pod using the squid Doryteuthis pealeii. That particular squid is described as an “exceptionally important” research organism for biology over the last 100 years. For their achievement, the team used CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to knock … Continue reading
