CRISPR Causes Unexpected Genomic Damage
Abstract
A study in four cell lines concludes that CRISPR/Cas9 editing causes unanticipated genomic alterations, including large deletions, translocations, and insertions. Some of these changes could be the first hits that cause cells to eventually become neoplastic.
