The process works by creating a precise cut that is repaired by the cell’s repair mechanisms, and those processes can be error prone.  Those errors are the basis of the gene’s disruption.  But in a population of cells, how do you account for and catalog all of the changes?  Kevin Bloh is a research associate and a Ph.D. student with Christiana Care / University of Delaware.  He describes computational tool that help define the variation around gene edited sites. The new tools help refine cells possibly destined for research or therapeutic applications.<br> DECODR software link.  www.decordr.org<br>  <br>
