AI upgrades CRISPR gene editing for accuracy, fewer off-target cuts

Scientists developed an AI model that predicts CRISPR's genome-editing efficiency and 'off-target' effects, allowing for more precise gene editing. This tech lets researchers design guide RNAs that cut DNA with over 78% accuracy in human cells while reducing unintended edits. The AI identifies optimal CRISPR targets, hinting at safer gene therapies down the line.
