CRISPR-Cas9 has been the household name of genetic engineering tools over the past decade, but there might be other, better ways. MIT scientists have now demonstrated an alternative called Fanzor, which is naturally found in animals so could be a better fit for human use.

An interesting paper describing a eukaryote native RNA-guided endonuclease, like CRISPR. Seems less efficient at the moment, but it the scientific community gets behind it and starts developing the methods, it may superseded the efficacy of CRISPR in eukaryotic cells.

The Paper:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06356-2

(unfortunately not available on SciHub https://sci-hub.st/https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06356-2 )

If you want a copy of the paper, secure DM (matrix).
