Tigr

Tigr is a gene-editing technology developed as a successor to CRISPR-Cas9. The system represents an advancement in the field of gene editing, building upon the foundational work of CRISPR technology to offer improved capabilities for precise genetic modification.

Research and Development

Dr. Feng Zhang at the Broad Institute has been instrumental in the development of Tigr technology. The research was featured in a SciShow episode titled “SciShow Field Trip: Feng Zhang and the Future of Gene Editing,” which highlighted the work being conducted at the Broad Institute on next-generation gene-editing approaches.
