Applying CRISPR to investigate multiple genes simultaneously in model organisms like zebrafish is challenging. Researchers at the University of Utah developed a streamlined platform called Multiplexed Intermixed CRISPR Droplets (MIC-Drop).1 By combining droplet microfluidics, precise injections, and DNA barcoding, this method enables large-scale gene identification.
