Tigr

Tigr is a gene-editing technology developed as a successor to CRISPR-Cas9. The system builds upon foundational CRISPR technology to provide improved precision and expanded capabilities for genetic modification. Like CRISPR, Tigr represents an advancement in molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques.

Development

Dr. Feng Zhang at the Broad Institute has been instrumental in developing Tigr technology. The work was featured in a SciShow episode that explored the system’s mechanisms and potential applications in the broader context of gene-editing advances.
