New Technique Finds Mutant Cells in a Haystack
Published March 19, 2014
in Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative
Researchers have developed a method to isolate a single mutant cell from thousands of others, they reported in the March issue of Nature Methods. The new approach will allow researchers to precisely engineer and study human cells without altering the genome. Ultimately, the method could be used to alter an individuals cells before returning them to his or her body.
