Researcher Brett Sansbury, Ph.D., and Eric Kmiec, Ph.D., director of the Gene Editing Institute, hold vials of CRISPR RNA and the CPF1 enzyme. The CRISPR/CPF1 gene-editing tool allows researchers to take fragments of DNA extracted from human cells, put them into a test tube and quickly and precisely engineer multiple changes to the genetic code.
