Some recent discoveries include gene editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, which allows scientists to edit DNA at specific locations; advances in single-cell genomics, which enables researchers to study the genome of individual cells; and the development of whole-genome sequencing technology, which can sequence an entire genome quickly and cheaply.
