New method secures engineered cell lines

phys.org

Researchers have developed a new method to embed unique genetic identifiers in engineered cell lines, preventing misidentification and unauthorized use. This technology uses CRISPR and enzymes to create tamper-proof genetic "fingerprints" within cells, safeguarding valuable intellectual property and improving research reproducibility. The one-step process, inspired by microchip security, offers a more reliable way to authenticate cell lines compared to existing methods.
