This technique shows promise, but like any other developing process, it is not without its hiccups. CRISPR can result in unintended gene changes. Typically, these edits come in the form of deletion. Previously, these deletions were difficult to locate. A recent innovation has shortened time required to identify these mistakes significantly. I hope that this improvement to CRISPR efficiency and safety allows to be used to treat more people.
