Normalerweise erfolgt der genetische Austausch von väterlichen und mütterlichen Eigenschaften über die ganze Länge eines Chromosoms. Durch das Invertieren des größten Teils (gelb) des Chromosoms mit Hilfe der molekularen Schere CRISPR/Cas kann dieser Austausch nun auf die beiden äußersten Enden beschränkt werden (violett und blau).
By inverting most (yellow) of the chromosome using CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors, genetic exchange could be restricted to the two extreme ends (purple and blue).
