DeRisi and colleagues present a creative application for Cas9 in vitro, using it to deplete unwanted sequence from DNA libraries. It seems plausible that the in vitro use of CRISPR/Cas9 has unrealized potential to revolutionize the practice of molecular biology well beyond genome editing.
德里西及其同事展示了Cas9在体外的一种创造性应用,即利用它去除DNA文库中不需要的序列。CRISPR/Cas9在体外的应用似乎有尚未实现的潜力,能给分子生物学实践带来变革,且远不止于基因组编辑。
