Editing Genes...Preclinical Promise

. . . Editing Genes - It seems that the some of the human genome's "errors" may soon be able to be corrected with new gene editing technology. Sangamo BioSciences (Nasdaq: SGMO) has announced the results of a study demonstrating that its zinc finger DNA-binding protein technology achieved "highly efficient, permanent correction of a disease-causing gene in primary human cells." ZFN Technology facilitated the modification of a DNA sequence at the site of a mutation in the gene. The study also indicated that gene correction was permanent.
