The Bridge Recombinase Mechanism - Next Generation Genome Design (VIDEO)
Caption
A team of researchers from the Arc Institute have discovered the bridge recombinase mechanism, a precise and powerful tool to recombine and rearrange DNA in a programmable way. Going far beyond programmable genetic scissors like CRISPR, the bridge recombinase mechanism enables scientists to specify not only the target DNA to be modified, but also the donor material to be recognized, so they can insert new, functional genetic material, cut out faulty DNA, or invert any two sequences of interest. Discover more in this short video visualizing the key aspects of the bridge recombination mechanism. Video created by Visual Science.
