In a study published at the end of October in [Nature Biotechnology](http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nbt.3081.html) and described in the Harvard [Gazette](http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2014/11/toward-genetic-editing/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=11.04.2014%20(1)), members of the [Liu group](http://evolve.harvard.edu/) demonstrate a new and more efficient method of delivering genome-editing proteins into target cells. The goal, to repair a few copies of a defective gene in certain disorders, is accomplished by introducing the non-replicable protein agents via common lipid reagents used routinely in DNA and RNA transfection.
