Nice to see him sharing the tool. Seems they will make faster progress with more folks using it.
The Broad’s Zhang says more work will have to be done before RESCUE can be tested in people. Meanwhile, he’s making the tool publicly available through the repository Addgene, so other researchers can use it to study disease-related mutations.
