Miniaturized CRISPR protein opens door for gene therapy with adeno-associated virus

Researchers have developed a novel version of a key CRISPR gene-editing protein that shows efficient editing activity and is small enough to be packaged within a non-pathogenic virus that can deliver it to target cells.
