Researchers from the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR (MIT) have made the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) gene-cutting system responsive to light, meaning that now gene editing may only take place under the exposure of ultraviolet light. This characteristic now means that researchers have more precise control over the activation of the CRISPR process.
