Nothing's scary about CRISPR, but there's something spooky about our scientists today! We're enjoying the holiday by dressing up. To all the trick-or-treaters and celebrators of the day: go 'bananas' tonight, but don't go too crazy on the candy - maybe just a 'bite'!

In a hunt for ways to improve the efficiency of CRISPR–Cas9-mediated homologous recombination, researchers at ETH Zürich and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center find that a single exonuclease, TREX1, reduces HDR efficiency when the repair template is a single-stranded or linearised double-stranded DNA. TREX1 knockout improved HDR efficiency, indicating new avenues for increasing CRISPR-Cas9-mediated HDR in TREX1-expressing contexts.

The study was led by Jacob Corn at ETH Zürich.
