Firefly gene illuminates ability of optimized CRISPR-Cpf1 to efficiently edit human genome
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Scientists on the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have improved a state-of-the-art gene-editing technology to advance the system`s ability to target, cut and paste genes within human and animal cells-and broadening the ways the CRISPR-Cpf1 editing system may be used to study and fight human diseases.
